FOREWORD My hat's off to former-Judge Florentino Floro and his ... uh ... staff.
Associate Justice, California Fourth District Court of Appeals William W. Bedsworth4 was born in Long Beach, California on November 21, 1947, and grew up in Gardena. For the first time in his life and career, he created a law blog, and this is because, he found the case of Judge Floro, GREATEST, as far as the American Constitution and Judicial Department are concerned. His Blog is reproduced herein as FOREWORD of the 3 dwarfs and mystic Judges 2010 Second Book, thusly:

Judges and Dwarfs Don't Mix The prospect of judges being removed because of their personal belief systems is anathema to all of us. Judges are, by and large, not the flamingos of the justice swamp. Present company excluded, we tend to be temperate, conservative and ... well, judicious. I've been watching this system for 35 years. Every quarter the Judicial Conduct Reporter lands on my desk and I put aside whatever I'm working on to read it. Talk about psychotherapy. Usually the Judicial Conduct Reporters have a theme. Usually it's sexual harassment. Sexual harassment seems to be the judicial equivalent of the common cold.
3

But there are other themes: bullying people, inappropriate gifts, ill-advised charitable activities. One of my favorites was "Judicial Road Rage." This was a collection of guys who didn't just yell at another motorist or flip them off, but had them arrested. These people actually sent their bailiffs out, or called the sheriff, and had motorists whose driving offended them tossed into the hoosegow. Not just one guy who did that, several of them! A gaggle! At the risk of sounding provincial, most of these do not involve California judges. Whether it reflects strong moral fiber or mere lack of imagination, our judges don't seem as prone to things like making decisions by flipping a coin (summer 2003) or falsely claiming to have won the Medal of Honor (summer 1995). Nor do we talk to imaginary mystic dwarfs. Yep. That's what it says: imaginary mystic dwarfs. Until today, I would not have considered my lack of involvement with imaginary mystic dwarfs a great achievement. Until today, I would not have understood it as a compliment if someone said, "I've got some issues with Bedsworth; about the best thing I can say about him is he doesn't talk to imaginary mystic dwarfs." But today I found out the mystic dwarf thing is grounds for removal of a judge in the Philippines. According to Reuters, "A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the country's Supreme Court."
4

Wow. I'm too old to use the word "awesome," but I just don't know how else to describe that. As judicial flameouts go, that's Krakatoa. My hat's off to former-Judge Florentino Floro and his ... uh ... staff. This beats the hell out of anything the Judicial Conduct Reporter's come up with lately. And I just love it. I love it because it appeared when I was right up against my deadline. I love it because it makes me feel superior. I love it because I've never previously gotten to type the phrase "imaginary mystic dwarfs." And I love it because the guy is APPEALING! As near as I can determine, he's making this out to be a freedom of religion issue. He says, "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed." Certainly, I can sympathize with that position. The prospect of judges being removed because of their personal belief systems is anathema to all of us. But I think once it's established that you, "told investigators that three mystic dwarfs Armand, Luis and Angel helped you carry out healing sessions during breaks in chambers," you gotta expect to trudge through a little grief. I mean, these aren't just your ordinary, gardenvariety, run-of-the-mill imaginary mystic dwarfs. These are imaginary mystic healing dwarfs! You gotta expect the local bar to be a little leery when you tell 'em, "Counsel, I regret that I cannot grant your motion. But if you'll just step into chambers, me and Luis and Armand will use our mystic powers to cure that arthritic knee of yours."
5

You've especially gotta expect it if you're able to see into the future. Reuters doesn't elaborate on just what the judge could see in the future or whether Armand, Luis and Angel were not only mystic and therapeutic, but precognitive as well but I'm not sure saying you can see into the future requires much elaboration. Certainly it made Judge Floro's future pretty clear. I have no doubt that if I had told ANY of the lawyers who appeared before me, EVER, that me and the mystic healing dwarfs were gonna cure a little deafness and then go out for a run over the lunch hour and that when we returned we'd have the name of next year's Preakness winner, Davies would have docked me some points. Certainly the Philippine Supreme Court thinks it lowers your score. Although they were very diplomatic about it. According to Reuters, "The Supreme Court said it was not within its expertise to conclude that Floro was insane, but agreed with the court clinic's finding that he was psychotic." I'm not sure just what distinction they were drawing here. They may have been saying, "We're not psychiatrists, so we can't say he's gone stark, staring loony tunes on us, but we certainly agree with the doctors who said it." Or they may have concluded that, in today's world, one psychosis hardly differentiates you from the rest of society; it takes at least two or three to qualify for a diagnosis of insanity. Either way, they confiscated his robe and his ruby slippers and fined him $780.10 And, mirabile dictu, Judge Floro is appealing. I don't have a clue who to. Who do you appeal to after the Philippine Supreme Court disrobes you?
6

Seems to me, you and the dwarfs have pretty much topped out when you lose in your nation's supreme court. I can't really see The Hague taking this one on. But Judge Floro has vowed an appeal, and, since he can see into the future, I have to assume it's gonna come to pass. And I'm not about to take a chance that I might miss the outcome of this saga. I'm going online as soon as I finish writing this to subscribe to the Philippine Judicial Conduct Quarterly. Then I'm gonna contact the dwarfs and see if they can do anything about my putting.

LUCES VIDEO
I first saw the light at 1:00 a.m. of November 5, 1953. [My mother first saw the light on December 5, 1925, and she last saw it on December 5, 1995]. From November 5, 1953 until June 2, 1983, our 3 mystic friends always guided me and my brother Robert, for both of us were gifted and were destined to see the VIOLET lights [of or among 90 Million Filipinos], bestowed and solely possessed by LUIS.
8

It was on June 2, 1983, that they whispered the sounds to Robert. Having fervently prayed to have a glimpse of these lights, I was especially privileged to have seen them/their lights (for split second, only) on March 1, 1986. Thereafter, I hoped and dreamed to see the lights. It was exactly on March 1, 1996, that I was chosen to see their lights (on my 42nd year, and on the 12th year, from their first whisper to Robert). From March 1, 1996 until this date, I had seen their lights during more than 1,720 midnights. I saw these glimmering, flashing colorless, colorful, and mysterious lights. About the last quarter of 1998, I saw a vision: I was about to lay my hands upon another On several occasions and at 12 noon of September 3, 1998, Dr. George So, psychiatrist, assistant of Dr. Pacita Salceda Ramos, of Makati Medical Center, saw the phenomenal changing of the red colors of my right hand. On April 2, 1999, Good Friday, at 9:07 p.m., Las Vegas Restaurant, BANAUE, Poblacion, Ifugao, my right hand became extremely hot, as I wrote the 29-pages memorandum Luces Video. On April 30, 1999 [RTC, Br. 73, Malabon, inside my Chambers], I first laid my hands upon another In this first phase of the exercise of the gift of changing the form and substance of a human body by release of light (definition of Healing), my right hand emitted the extreme heat that penetrated the others body parts which were disintegrating (malfunction, in our language). I did use this privilege until May 18, 1999, when my right hand stopped releasing heat. On first Thursday, June 2, 1999, at exactly 6:05 6:07 a.m., in mystic trance-ecstasy, I spoke the 2 essential words (more than 5 times) AMEN JESUS ; simultaneously, I saw the vision of the oil being poured to I received the gift of spiritual healing.
9

On First Friday, June 4, 1999, or on the 16th year from June 2, 1983, when they whispered the words, I offered the oil, laid my hands with coconut oil per the 2 words, upon another, at Bustos Dam, Angat, Bulacan, at 8:00 pm. This second phase of the privilege started with a sole message of Genuine Reconciliation. It was on June 2, 1983, at the wake of my father, Florentino, Sr. that LUIS, Armand and Angel first appeared to my brother Robert V. Floro at the back of our house at Calvario, Meycauayan, Bulacan, Philippines. I brought Robert to our Psychology Department Chair, Ateneo De Manila, Fr. Jaime Bulatao, S.J. about November, 1984, to have been tested on his dwarfs claims. Fr. Bulatao tested him and they traveled to the Kingdom/castle of LUIS, Armand and Angel. The Jesuit priest informed me that subjectivelyobjectively it is true (but he was not able to see LUIS and Armand, while Robert was able to see Fathers dwarf dwendeling). From 1984 until 1999, I have had great FAITH in these Philippine creatures, as I offered them food and drinks, daily/ Fridays to remember them. It was on First Friday, March 1, 1996, midnight, that LUIS and Armand first appeared to me in VISION: they told me their names and promised me lifetime DALLIANCE, or covenant, protection and friendship. More importantly, it is the covenants prophecy by LUIS that I and these 3 mystic dwarves would be known worldwide. On April 7, 2006, the birthday of Angel (their sister, whom I just saw on August, 2009), I and these 3 holy angels of the Lord caught unprecedented global sympathy, compassion and attention: from obscurity, we became worldfamous and IMMORTAL in the indelible memory of world history.
10

Since June 2, 1983, when LUIS and Armand appeared to my brother Robert, and since LUIS promised that he would appear to me (1984 Christmas promise), it was only on January 8, 2008 (or 24 years thereafter) that LUIS fulfilled his covenant: he appeared to me in IMAX yellow light virtual reality fashion. It was for real. THIS BOOK is written for the sole purpose of sharing to the world, their mission of exorcising the corrupt Philippine judiciary, to fight evil and promote spiritual repentance through the highest VIOLET and white LIGHTS of LUIS, the King of kings of elementals worldwide. This book is likewise published for believers and infidels alike, who for reasons, would utterly have an insight into the spiritual world of the 3 mystic dwarves vis--vis the broken world of materialism and the true-to-life world of hypocrisy, anger, bitterness, hatred and vengeance, in our crab menatlity Philippine Judicial Department. Because of these 3 holy angels of God, the landmark Justice Minita Viray Chico-Nazario Decision became the object of ridicule by the democratic and civilized world which compassionately defined the essence of kindness that I never found in my own country.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Judge Florentino V. Floro Jr., graduated High School (3rd Honors) from St. Vincents Seminary, at Karuhatan, Valenzuela, Bulacan in 1970. (He finished Grade VI with 6th honors at St. Marys Academy, Poblacion, Mecauayan, Bulacan, in 1965). He obtained his A. B. Pre-Divinity at the Ateneo de Manila University, Loyola House of Studies, Quezon City, Philippines, on October, 1974. He obtained MBA units at the Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Padre Faura, Manila, in 1975, and finished Law at the Ateneo Law School, Makati, on June 13, 1982 (FULL SECOND HONORS) with 10 years unbroken record of 91% in Criminal Law Review. In the 1983 Bar Exams (one of the hardest in P.I. history, since only 21.3% passed), he was 12th place with a very high Bar Rating of 87.55% (which rating had been surpassed by only 2 incumbent Supreme Court Justices and 2 JBC applicants, out of 1,500 judges, 70 Justices and 10,000 applicants, a Philippine RECORD, so to speak). In his first attempt to become a Judge, he filed his JBC Application on his birthday, November 5, 1997. Out of more than 80 applicants to the position (Br. 73, RTC, MALABON, M.M., NCJR), he was duly nominated (upon his APPEAL) by the Judicial & Bar Council and was appointed by President Joseph Estrada on his birthday, November 4/5, 1998, at the age of 45, as youngest RTC, NCJR Judge. He took his oath on Friday the 13th, November, 1998 and fully assumed judicial powers on January 12, 1999. He considers President Ferdinand E. Marcos (as the greatest Filipino & the most brilliant mind that the Asian Race ever produced). He also predicted that he would be a Healer and aimed to be a Jockey. He predicted on December 9, 1998 and January 25, 1999 his suspension. More specifically, it was on July 18, 1999 that he saw the vision of Plaridel (Marcelo H. del Pilar) and 73 which foretold his suspension at exactly 4:50 p.m., July 20, 1999, and he left RTC, Br. 73, Malabon at 5:20 p.m.
12

One afternoon of the third week of June, 2000, he predicted before a JBC member and spontaneously told Atty. Teresita Cruz-Sison, at the JBC corridors: xxx You will be re-appointed on July 5!!! xxx. She was reappointed and served the unprecedented third term as regular JBC member, the Kingmaker. She is the mastermind of Judge Floros 68.9 months longest suspension in history and separation from service. On July 18, 2000 at 8:00 a.m. & 8:00 p.m. he experienced the special trance which predicted the Catmon, Malabon Halls of Justice fire that destroyed practically all the Court Offices except his sala (at exactly 5:20 a.m. of July 23, 2000, or exactly 36 hours after his 1 year anniversary preventive suspension). Judge Floro was named Youngest Filipino Achiever by WikiPilipinas: the Hip 'n Free Philippine Encyclopedia (Redirected from Youngest Filipinos in their Field): * Florentino Floro - youngest RTC NCJR Judge of the Philippines at the age of 45.1 A final word. One need not agree that the Angel of Death and the 3 world-famous unseen little friends/elementals do exist and of course, that his claim as the No. 1 Psychic has basis. Nevertheless, this book or memorandum is written for believers and infidels alike who, for varying reasons, perhaps, may wish to gain some understanding of his healing message: that there is a God who watches us from a distance; xxx genuine reconciliation/repentance; xxx to heal the wounds of corruption in the judiciary; xxx to heal the sick.

This Book is affectionately dedicated to LUIS, Armand & Angel, to my brothers Robert & Benjamin V. Floro, and to all those who, for one reason or another, had been victims of Filipino Injustice because of Crab Mentality and massive Corruption in the Philippine Judiciary.

INTRODUCTION
As a trial-court judge, Florentino V. Floro Jr. acknowledged that he regularly sought the counsel of three elves only he could see. The Supreme Court deemed him unfit to serve and fired him last year. Case closed? Not in the Philippines, where vampires are said to prey on unwary travelers and wealthy politicians consult fortune tellers and card readers. Mr. Floro, 54 years old, has become a media celebrity. He is now wielding his new clout to campaign for the return of his job -- and exact vengeance on the Supreme Court. Helping him, he says, are his three invisible companions. "Angel" is the neutral force, he says. "Armand" is a benign influence. "Luis," whom Mr. Floro describes as the "king of kings," is an avenger. Mr. Floro has become a regular on Philippine television. Often he is asked to make predictions with the help of his invisible friends. "They say your show will be taken off the air if you don't feature me more often," was Mr. Floro's reply to one interviewer. The day after Mr. Floro's first appearance on television last year, hundreds of people turned up at his house in a dusty Manila suburb hoping he could use his supernatural powers to heal their illnesses. Now Mr. Floro, who travels by bus, is regularly recognized on the street. The Supreme Court says its medical clinic determined that Mr. Floro was suffering from psychosis. Even so, a series of disturbing incidents appear to have the nation's top jurists rattled. According to local newspaper reports, a mysterious fire in January destroyed the Supreme Court's crest in its session hall, and a number of members of the court and their close family members have developed serious illnesses or have fallen victim to car accidents. Enough bizarre things have happened that in July, the Supreme Court issued an en banc resolution asking Mr. Floro to desist in his threats of "ungodly reprisal." The Supreme Court's spokesman declined to elaborate.Mr. Floro says he is not suffering from psychosis, and that he's not to blame for the incidents.

15

He points the finger squarely at "king of kings" elf Luis, who Mr. Floro says is bent on cleaning up what he says is the Philippines' corrupt legal system. Mr. Floro says he never consulted the invisible elves over judicial decisions and the fact that he puts faith in them should make no difference to his career. "It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand and Angel," he says in an interview. The Philippines has a long history of mixing organized religion with a deep belief in the supernatural. During the 1950s and 1960s, when the Southeast Asian nation was already an independent republic, the Central Intelligence Agency stoked fears of vampires and ghouls to help its preferred candidates win elections. The elf, or "duwende," is one of a rich pantheon of supernatural beings that predate the Philippines' colonization by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. Many Filipinos make pilgrimages to Mount Banahaw, just south of Manila, which is reputedly the country's capital for elves and other beings.

Jaime Licauco, who teaches parapsychology at San Beda College in Manila, testified on behalf of Mr. Floro in a 2001 hearing. He argued Mr. Floro is mentally fit and argues the former judge's beliefs aren't so unusual in the Philippine context. Like many others in the Philippines, Mr. Floro says he himself is a Roman Catholic, and once studied to be a priest. He recalls that he wasn't convinced that serving the church was necessarily the best way to serve other Filipinos. He says he thought he could improve more people's lives if he became a lawyer, and he handily passed the bar exams.

16

Mr. Floro says he first realized he had the power to perceive Armand, Angel and Luis in 1986. In 1998, he applied to switch from being a lawyer to becoming a judge. He passed a mandatory psychiatric evaluation applied to all prospective judges and was sworn in as a regional trial-court judge in November of that year, handling both civil and criminal cases in Malabon, a district in greater Manila. In 1999, Mr. Floro invited officials from the Supreme Court's administration unit to inspect his small courtroom. What they found unnerved them, and the Supreme Court convened a hearing to determine whether Mr. Floro should be removed from the bench. According to Supreme Court papers, the court investigators presenting evidence at the hearing said they found Mr. Floro wearing blue robes instead of the normal black. Mr. Floro's own witnesses testified that he wore black on Fridays to "recharge his psychic powers." The court investigators also reported that Mr. Floro began court proceedings with readings from the Book of Revelation and conducted hands-on psychic healing sessions for members of the public in his chambers during recesses. The investigators said Mr. Floro would sometimes enter a trance to write his rulings. During the hearing, Mr. Floro revealed his contact with his elves. He also shared with the judges that Luis predicted that then-Philippine President Joseph Estrada would be ousted from office. Mr. Estrada was forced from power by a popular revolt two years later in 2001 and was sentenced last week to life in prison for corruption. In March 2006, after lengthy delays, the Supreme Court finally dismissed Mr. Floro from the court service, largely because of his belief in the supernatural. Even though Mr. Floro says the elves played no part in his judicial decisions, the Supreme Court justices said his broad faith in mysticism and supernatural phenomena had affected his work.
17

"Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such a belief system," Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario wrote in the Supreme Court's verdict."However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system." Mr. Floro dissents. He has filed three appeals of the Supreme Court's decision since then and is continuing his campaign on local television and on the Internet. The Supreme Court hasn't reversed any of his decisions after suspending and later removing him from the bench. JAMES HOOKWAY, [email protected] "The future is beyond knowing, but the present is beyond belief. We make so much noise with technology that we cannot discover that the stargate is in our foreheads. But the time has come; the revelation has already occured, and the guardian seers have seen the lightning strike the darkness we call reality. And now we sleep in the brief interval between the lightning and the thunder."

Prologue
I used to be a judge but I'm all right now . . . The Times David Pannick QC
David Pannick QC (born 7 March 1956) is a leading barrister in the United Kingdom. He practises mainly in the areas of public law and human rights. He has argued more than 75 cases in the House of Lords, more than 25 cases in the European Court of Justice, and more than 30 cases in the European Court of Human Rights.
18

Pannick was educated at Bancroft's School and Hertford College, Oxford, where he obtained an MA and a BCL. He was called to the Bar at Gray's Inn in 1979, and was a Junior Counsel to the Crown in Common Law from 1988 to 1992. He became a Queen's Counsel in 1992, a Recorder in 1995, and a deputy High Court judge in 1998. He has acted in a wide range of important and high-profile cases, including the Spycatcher case. He has been a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford since 1978, and became an Honorary Fellow at Hertford College, Oxford in September 2004. On Mon, 12 Jun 2006 12:02:17, "David Pannick QC" e-mailed Judge Floro and wrote the article on TIMES ONLINE, respectively, and hereunder: Dear Judge Floro Thank you for sending the material which I read with great interest. Best wishes David Pannick David Pannick QC, [email protected] LUNACY on the Bench is not as common as prime ministers and home secretaries stung by judgments critical of their policies like to suggest. The recent decision of the Supreme Court of the Philippines to dismiss Judge Florentino V. Floro Jr as a judge of the Regional Trial Court in Malabon City because of a medically disabling condition of the mind that rendered him unfit to discharge the functions of his office repays careful consideration by any student of the judiciary.

19

Judge Floro first applied for appointment to the Bench in 1995. The mandatory psychological evaluation by the Supreme Court Clinic Services (memo to the Lord Chancellor: do not even consider this) revealed evidence of ego disintegration. Judge Floro voluntarily withdrew his application. He reapplied in 1998, but the evaluation was again negative, identifying problems with self-esteem and mood swings. But Judge Floro was allowed to rely on a more favourable assessment from private practitioners. He began work as a judge in November 1998. The appointment was not a great success. Less than eight months later, the Supreme Court suspended Judge Floro while complaints against him were investigated. It took nearly seven years to complete the inquiries, partly because of the delaying tactics by the judge. In March Justice Chico-Nazario, for a unanimous 14-strong Supreme Court, decided that Judge Floro should be dismissed from the Bench. In 1890 Mr Justice Stephen became incapable of acting in a judicious manner by reason of mental illness. And in the 1950s, a High Court judge who lost his faculties was persuaded to resign only when no work was assigned to him. But there is, I think, no precedent for Judge Floros unusual manner of opening proceedings in his courtroom. A formal, All rise, or even a jocular, Here comes the judge, might be acceptable. But not the introductory statement to all those present in court that Judge Floro was a Bar topnotcher who passed the 1983 Bar Examinations with an average score of 87.55 per cent. There would follow a reading from the Bible, after which Judge Floro would answer questions on the scriptural text of the day.
20

The judges visiting card also stated that he was a Bar exams topnotcher (87.55 per cent) with full second honours. As the Supreme Court concluded, litigants might well interpret all this as a sign of insecurity. What caused the Supreme Court most concern, and who can blame them, was Judge Floros belief that he enjoyed qualities lacked by other members of the judiciary. Judge Floro is not the first judge to have an inflated opinion of his own abilities, but there are not many who have claimed special powers as the No 5 psychic in the country. (The Supreme Court judgment unfortunately provides no information on whether the top four also have legal qualifications and, if so, what marks they obtained in the Bar exams.) In a variation of dressdown Fridays, Judge Floro changed from blue court robes to black each Friday to recharge his psychic powers. He was, he suggested, the angel of death and able to inflict pain and sickness on people appearing in his court (a valuable but perhaps disproportionate sanction in dealing with vexatious litigants). The judge believed that he could write while in a trance, and he had, he insisted, been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time, a very useful attribute in reducing the waiting lists for pending cases. Most impressive of all, Judge Floro had made a covenant with three dwarf friends named Luis, Armand and Angel, who would, unseen by others, provide him with assistance in court (presumably when counsel were unable to provide a page reference in the bundles of evidence). Very generously in the circumstances, the Supreme Court emphasised that it was not ruling that Judge Floro was insane.

21

He was merely suffering from a psychosis that appeared to cloud his judgment and so undermined his competence and objectivity. Justice Chico-Nazario concluded that psychic phenomena, even assuming such exist (a wise judge never decides more than is necessary to dispose of the case), have no place in jurisprudence. Though it would, I suppose, be helpful to be able accurately to predict how the Supreme Court would deal with a case, and so avoid the expense and delay of waiting for their decisions. 2 The Supreme Court let Judge Floro down from the Bench as lightly as possible. No one is to blame as we cannot condemn people for their faulty genes and/or adverse environment factors they have no control over. Judge Floro may be dysfunctional as a judge but may still be successful in other areas of endeavour. Especially, of course, as he can rely on the help of those three dwarf friends.

He and the British biggest newspaper The Times (TIMES ONLINE) bestowed upon Judge Floro the highest award ever that was given to a Magistrate.

Case of Kiwi lawyer judged most bizarre in the world Judge Floro - 2006 Judge of the Year
Thursday December 07, 2006

I used to be a judge but I'm all right now . . . The Times David Pannick QC, June 06, 2006 http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/law/columnists/d avid_pannick/article671074.ece

High-profile New Zealand lawyer Bob Moodie has been named by a columnist in the Times newspaper in London as winner of the world "award for bizarre conduct by a lawyer in 2006". "Facing contempt proceedings in the High Court in Wellington, he appeared in women's clothes, asked the judge to call him 'Ms Alice' and explained that this was because he wanted to draw attention to the oldboy network within the New Zealand judiciary," said Times columnist David Pannick, QC. Dr Moodie, 68, was once secretary of the Police Association and wore kaftans at the time, during the 1970s, was a goat breeder, mayor of Manawatu, and a high-profile advocate for former Wanganui police commander Alec Waugh, winning him a $1 million payout after he lost his job in an alleged fraud case. A practising barrister in London's Temple Law Courts, Mr Pannick also detailed "particularly hot competition" in 2006 for the prize for a judge. William Carter, of the Albany City Court in New York, was a strong contender after being censured for removing his judicial robe, walking up to a defendant and asking: "You want a piece of me?" Judge Donald Thompson was convicted by a jury in Oklahoma on four counts of indecent exposure by surreptitiously using a penis pump in Creek County Court while sitting as a judge hearing trials in 2002 and 2003. Mr Pannick awarded this judge a consolation prize for least contentious statement by a defendant in a criminal trial this year: "In 20-20 hindsight, I should have thrown it away." The award for judge of the year went to Judge Florentino Floro Jr, whom the Philippines Supreme Court sacked for: Regularly opening proceedings with the statement that he was "a Bar topnotcher" who passed the 1983 Bar examinations "with an average score of 87.55 per cent"; for changing from blue court robes to black each Friday "to recharge his psychic powers" as "the No5 psychic in the country."

And for claiming to have the assistance of three invisible dwarf friends named Luis, Armand and Angel, who assisted him in court. Judicial email of the year was sent by the UK immigration judge Mohammed Ilyas Khan to his lover, Roselane Driza, a Brazilian cleaner, telling her she was "real chilli-hot stuff". She was imprisoned for 33 months for blackmailing a female immigration judge, Judge J, by threatening to send to the Lord Chancellor videos of Judge J having sex with Judge Khan, and another three months' imprisonment for theft of videos. Witness of the year was Gail Sheridan giving evidence for her husband, Tommy, in his successful libel action against the News of the World for alleging that he had taken part in orgies. Mrs Sheridan told the jury that her husband was so "boring' that his only interest on weekend evenings was to search through dictionaries to find long words to boost his scores at Scrabble. The Iraqi High Tribunal's sentencing of Saddam Hussein to death for crimes against humanity was rated the foreign trial of the year, with a note that the 10-month trial was disrupted by the murder of three defence lawyers, the departure of two chief judges, boycotts by the defence team and shouting matches in court. The winner in the category for hopeless lawsuit of the year was German lawyer Jens Lorek, who wants to hear from people who believe they were abducted by aliens so that he can bring, on their behalf, compensation claims against the state."The trouble is," he complained, "people are afraid of making fools of themselves in court." Mr Pannick said there would be many people doing precisely that in 2007.3 - NZPA

LUIS, Armand and Angel: VIOLET lights; a friend from another star; time travel. Since June 2, 1983, when these 3 mystic dwarves appeared to Judge Floros brother Robert, it was only after quarter of a century or in 2008, that LUIS permitted the mystic Judge to travel in time and in his 7th plane of existence, specifically in his Kingdom of Peace of Christ through Mary in Osaka, Japan and Philippines. The scientific basis for this virtual reality and mystery is revealed from these writings, to wit: Aliens almost certainly exist but humans should avoid making contact, Professor Stephen Hawking has warned. In a series for the Discovery Channel the renowned astrophysicist said it was "perfectly rational" to assume intelligent life exists elsewhere. But he warned that aliens might simply raid Earth for resources, then move on. "If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans," he said. Prof Hawking thinks that, rather than actively trying to communicate with extra-terrestrials, humans should do everything possible to avoid contact. He explained: "We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet. To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like." An advanced spacefaring extraterrestrial civilization could end up wandering the universe in enormous spaceships on the prowl for vital materials after consuming the natural resources of their own world, Hawking explains in an episode of the show "Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking," which premiered Sunday on the Discovery Channel. "Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they could reach," Hawking said.
25

"If so, it makes sense for them to exploit each new planet for material to build more spaceships so they could move on. Who knows what the limits would be?" In the four-part series, Hawking explores topics such as aliens, time travel, and the origin of the universe. Hawking, one of the world's most famous scientists, is a British theoretical physicist and former professor at Cambridge University in England. He gained fame through his bestselling book, "A Brief History of Time." Hawking is almost completely paralyzed from the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He communicates through an electronic voice synthesizer. In an article in the Daily Mail this week, British cosmologist Stephen Hawking outlined not one, but three, theoretically realistic ideas for traveling through time, one of which he says is even practical. The Fourth Dimension - First, though, you have to get your head around the notion that time is a dimension, just like width, height and length. Hawking uses the example of driving in your car: You go forward. That's one direction. You turn left or right, that's a second. You journey up a mountain road, that's a third. The fourth dimension is time. "Time travel movies often feature a vast, energy-hungry machine. The machine creates a path through the fourth dimension, a tunnel through time. A time traveler, a brave, perhaps foolhardy individual, prepared for who knows what, steps into the time tunnel and emerges who knows when. The concept may be far-fetched, and the reality may be very different from this, but the idea itself is not so crazy," Hawking writes. "Time flows like a river and it seems as if each of us is carried relentlessly along by time's current. But time is like a river in another way. It flows at different speeds in different places and that is the key to traveling into the future," Hawking writes. Albert Einstein first proposed this idea 100 years ago that there should be places where time slows down, and others where time speeds up, notes Hawking.
26

"He was absolutely right." The keys to time travel are black holes, objects so dense that not even light can escape their gravitational grip. "A black hole ... has a dramatic effect on time, slowing it down far more than anything else in the galaxy. That makes it a natural time machine," Hawking writes. "To travel in time we'll have to go more than 2,000 times faster (than Apollo 10). And to do that we'd need a much bigger ship, a truly enormous machinebig enough to carry a huge amount of fuel, enough to accelerate it to nearly the speed of light. Getting to just beneath the cosmic speed limit would require six whole years at full power. "We could, in theory, travel extraordinary distances within one lifetime," Hawking writes. "A trip to the edge of the galaxy would take just 80 years."4

Part I I. World Famous Philippine Healing Judge and 3 Mystic Dwarves: Immortality in World History

31

From obscurity, I and these 3 mystic dwarves became immortal in world history.
GOOGLE/YAHOO Judge Floro and 1,710,000 /49,200 entries come up in 0.12 seconds (as of September, 2009). One of the entries is Filipino Justice, which is a May 16, 2006 SWIFT (The Weekly Newsletter of the JREF) article of Amazing James Randi. James Randi (born August 7, 1928), internationally billed as The Amazing Randi, is a stage magician and scientific skeptic best known as a debunker of pseudoscience. Born Randall James Hamilton Zwinge, in Toronto, Canada, Randi is the creator of the James Randi Education Foundation's million dollar challenge offering a prize US$1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate evidence of any paranormal, supernatural or occult power or event, under test conditions agreed to by both parties. He occasionally features on the television program Bullshit!, hosted by noted skeptics Penn & Teller. Randi has worked as a professional stage magician and escapologist since 1946. In 1955, he broke Houdini's record for survival in a sealed coffin (1 hour, 33 minutes) by 11 minutes. In his early career, Randi was part of numerous stunts involving his escape from jail cells and safes. He writes:

FILIPINO JUSTICE James Randi

I spent some time in the Philippine Islands years ago, working night clubs.

32

That was before Ferdinand Marcos and Imelda of the 1,060 pairs of shoes, were in power, but I became aware of how informal the judicial system was even then, when several friends came up against it and were only allowed to leave the islands after large cash bribes were openly paid to appropriate officials, all the way to the boarding gate at the airport. Strange standards in that part of the world were part of the atmosphere in which everyone lived. A Filipino trial judge in the northern section of Manila, Florentino Floro, was fired last month and fined 40,000 pesos (US$775) after a three-year investigation found that hed claimed he could see into the future and admitted that he consulted privately with mystical magic dwarfs. He now argues that his personal beliefs were being questioned. Yes, Id say thats true. He told investigators that the invisible dwarfs Armand, Luis and Angel helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. The firing was not only based on his delusions; the court also found that Judge Floro was incompetent, and had shown bias in a case he was trying. The dwarfs were only an added flavour to the case. The court made no effort to decide whether Floro was insane, but agreed with a clinic's finding that he was suffering from psychosis. Really ? Dear reader, I hope that you dont chuckle too loudly at what must appear to be an example of naivety or outright superstition among the population of the Island. I have several good friends there, competent and educated, though I regret that the skeptical community there is no longer actively organized.
33

But right here in the USA, and in the UK, professional psychics work the populace, the administrations in both countries are headed by people who talk to deities, educational standards are being eroded by the admission of irrational faith-based notions, blatantly quack medicine is freely available to all, and television is packed with psychics, spook shows and documentaries that pander to public credulity. The major difference between here and the Philippines is the number of persons who labor under the delusions, not the magnitude of the errors themselves. As if to emphasize the lack of a skeptical community in the Philippines, a reader has asked if Ill appeal to anyone there who would provide skeptical company to him He says its lonely there for him, without much rational behavior being obvious. If you are resident in the Islands, have a generally skeptical attitude, and would like to be in touch with this man, contact me, please. 5 James Randi versus Jaime T. Licauco: Who Is The Fool? From December 31, 2006, Judge Floro accurately predicted the twin angioplasty medical procedures of Jaime T. Licauco (on February, 2007) and of James Randi, and the latters cancer: I had been known by these 2 guys: xxx Now, these 2 guys had been fighting for quite some time, as if in Court, filing complaints, answers, replies, rejoinders and all sorts of media garbage that seemed true-to-life drama entitled Psi vs. Magic.

34

I would rather write a story that would portray these 2 guys in a melodrama, drama anthology or soap opera, but if produced, there would seem very little audience participating, making it a baloney. Seriously, many of their fans had been hypnotized to the extent of being enchanted to a kingdom of their own in Neverland or rather in moro-moro fantasy. More liberally, I would predict that all those fans that would follow these 2 guys might generously release moneys to lend their ears to these 2 guys tricks, treats and original recipes, not yet produced by cook books. I fervently hope that readers of this new topic will join this debate, and I raise the sole issue: who is the fool? Randi or Jaime, or both?6 In February 2006, Randi underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. In early February 2006, he was declared to be in stable condition and "receiving excellent care" with his recovery proceeding well. The weekly commentary updates to his website were made by guests while he was hospitalized. Randi recovered after his surgery and was able to help organize and attend the 2007 Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada (an annual convention of scientists, magicians, skeptics, atheists and freethinkers). Randi was diagnosed with intestinal cancer in June 2009. He had a ping pong ball-sized tumor removed from his intestines during laparoscopic surgery. He announced this a week later at the July 2009 The Amazing Meeting as well as the fact that he was scheduled to begin chemotherapy in the following weeks. He also said at the conference: "One day, I'm gonna die. That's all there is to it. Hey, it's too bad, but I've got to make room.

I'm using a lot of oxygen and suchI think it's good use of oxygen myself, but of course, I'm a little prejudiced on the matter." Randi also said that after he is gone he does not want his fans to bother with a museum of magic named after him or burying him in a fancy tomb. Instead, he said, "I want to be cremated, and I want my ashes blown in Uri Geller's eyes." His physicians put his five-year survival rate at 50%. Randi underwent his final chemotherapy session on December 31, 2009, as he explained in a January 12, 2010 video in which he related that his chemotherapy experience was not as unpleasant as he had imagined. In a video posted April 12, 2010; Randi mentioned that he's been given a clean bill of health. In March 2010, Randi came out as gay.7 Jaime T. Licauco met his nemesis. James Randi (born August 7, 1928), stage name The Amazing Randi, is a stage magician and scientific skeptic best known as a challenger of paranormal claims and pseudoscience. Born Randall James Hamilton Zwinge, in Toronto, Canada, Randi is the founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). The Magician Randi debunked claims in Licauco's Philippine Daily Inquirer column entitled "INNER AWARENESS" (October 24, 2006). Randi, inter alia, challenged Licauco to apply for the JREF $ 1 million dollar prize, since the latter claimed that "he has paranormal abilities". With point-by-point reply ("Setting the record straight", Inquiret.net, January 15, 2007), Licauco forthwith answered Randi's attacks.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Randi&oldid=36 0396607#Personal_life http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi

36

Licauco denied having supernatural powers by saying "Thats a lie. I have never claimed to have any paranormal or psychic ability. I dont know where Randi got that idea". Although he teaches, among other things, ESP and how to do remote viewing, and even boasted in a show that more than 80% of his students develop the skill. He claims that "I dont have to prove to Randi that ESP (extra sensory perception) ability (such as telepathy, clairvoyance and telekinesis) exists. This has been proven scientifically long ago." He also claims that Randi "participated in the cover-up of a botched scientific investigation of Michel Gauquelins conclusion that there was a significant statistical correlation between birth dates of athletes and the position of Mars in the heavens". Licauco further said that "Randis group denounced Gauquelins finding only to eat their words later. To save face, they went so far as to manipulate scientific data to conform to their preconceived notion that astrology was pure hogwash". On the evening of Jan. 26, 2007, or about a month after Jaime Licauco ridiculed Judge Floros 1st Dwarves Book at Rex Bookstore (before Ms. Sonia Breezee Santiago, who timely informed Judge Floro of Licuacos scheme to corner the paranormal book market), Licauco almost died, when he felt chest pain while watching a movie at Greenbelt Cinema in Makati. Judge Floro challenged Licauco, by posting the prophecy in several internet forums before the predicted surgery of this Philippine paranormal expert. Having a near-fatal heart attack (Myocardial infarction), he was rushed to the Makati Medical Center and finally transferred to the Philippine Chinese General Hospital. Licaucos cardiologist, Dr. Dy Bun Yok found (angiogram) that 70% of one of his arteries is blocked.
37

On February 8, 2007 Jaime T. Licauco stayed in the coronary care unit for 4 days, and thereafter, he underwent an angioplasty. After 2 days, Licauco left the hospital (after almost 2 weeks stay thereat). Licaucos daughter Sophia, who has been living in California for the last 21 years, flew back to Manila to be with him, and lost her job in the onset due to the length of stay in the Philippines. Sophia Licauco wanted to make sure that Mr. Licauco was out of harms way before she went back to the US. Sophia Licauco is Jimmy Licauco's only daughter who values the importance of family.8

The soul and spirit of WORLD-FAMOUS IMMORTALITY. Wikipedia defines it, thusly: Others believe that they can achieve "immortality" through their "legacy", through their acts and the achievements that they leave behind (a common belief, sometimes called renown or glory).

is

Such was a belief of Alexander the Great. This view of immortality is different from others, in that it places value not on the continuance of one's physical, spiritual, or intellectual "self", but rather on how one will be remembered by generations to come ("Their heroic works 'live on' in the world, for us to remember them by and others can emulate") or even how the world is influenced by one's acts even if oneself is no remembered. This view of immortality is embraced in many Germanic and humanistic philosophies.10 Philippine Comedian German Moreno interviewed (on GMA Ch. 7 T.V.) a rich actor. The former asked why the latter should bare himself artistically when he has already all the riches Surprisingly the bold actor tersely replied: If you land in the print media, you are immortal!

Overnight, for sure, Judge Floro and the 3 healing dwarves became world-famous and immortal in world history: on the birthday of dwarf Angel, April 7, 2006 --the day promised by LUIS (on the date of dalliance or covenant with the 3 dwarves, on March 1, 1996) --- that on a definite, most certain and pre-destined future time, Judge Floro and these 3 mystic dwarves would be immortalized in the world. Specifically, on April 7, 2006, when the Supreme Court of the Philippines released (on April 6, 2006) the cursed 75 pages Minita Chico-Nazario Decision separating Judge Floro from service due to alleged consultation with the 3 dwarves, the whole world discussed it: more than 500 world, international reports/headlines, 1,000 blogs and forum discussions threads or topics plus more than 50,000 replies, all unprecedented or unduplicated in history. It was just the matter of being in the right place at the right time.

It was also on April 7, 1984, the birthday of dwarf Angel that LUIS, King of kings of elementals, did bestow upon Judge Floro the gift of having placed 12th in the Philippine Bar Exams with 87.55% rating, the 1983 Bar Exams, being one with the lowest passing mark of only 21.3% who passed. Parenthetically, celebrity, fame, fortune and glory cannot be equated with Immortality and World-Famous. Mega stars, Stars for all Seasons, Super Stars, Kings of Movies, Song Birds, and Comedy Kings, inter alia, reign supreme only in their own turfs. Lea Salonga, Sharon Cuneta, Vilma Santos, Nora Aunor, Da King, Regine Velasquez, Dolphy . are mere idols of the cinematic world, a world of art, make-believe, drama anthology and music.

As philosopher Blaise Pascal tersely and more adequately put it, The charm of fame is so great that we like every object to which it is attached --- even death. The Philippine Daily Inquirer, in this regard (last updated, 10/15/2006, page Q4 of the October 15, 2006) states: Some things you could do to become famous 1. Bask in reflected glory. Hang out long enough with famous people, and some of that fame is bound to rub off on youthink Entourage. Corollary to this 2. Sleep with somebody famous 3. Get a makeover. Liposuction, nose job, boob jobthe works. Its still all about the way you look, baby. 4. Throw a brick at someone famous. This was said by the American newspaper columnist Walter Winchell back in the 1930s, but its still true today. When in doubt, attack! (See no. 2) 5. Turn gay. Then, preferably, a suitably flamboyant and dramatic outing, like Rustom Padillas on-cam revelation. or a slightly less flamboyant one like Aiza Seguerras (these days its not enough to be a talented songwriter, you need to be a talented lesbian songwriter to cut it in the music biz). 6. I fought the law and the law won. If you cant make it in the entertainment section, try making the front page. 7. If you have to go down, go all the way down. 8. Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse.
41

9. Get a good manager/agent. If you arent great at pushing yourself, get somebody else to do it, even if you have to pay them! But when all else fails 10. Audition for a reality show, even if you have absolutely no talent. Hey, considering the strange mindset of the Filipino viewer (to paraphrase Philippine Idol Ryan Cayabyab), that doesnt seem to be a requirement to getting the votes. Quite interesting and shocking: fame was defined as Carabaos + chickens + vegetables. Johnny Manahan said that parents of would-be stars gifted him with weekly rations of chickens and vegetables. Boy Abunda, judge of Star Circle Quest, on the other hand, was gaping in disbelief when a girl said that they sold their carabaos, house and everything just to come to Manila. A cursory perusal of the above-discussed points of fame, fortune and glory readily shows that Judge Floros and the 3 dwarfs immortality originated from none of the above. It is sheer pre-destination and the GIFT of LUIS, Armand & ANGEL.

Dismissed judge, elfin pals claim immortality A.J. Hammer, Showbiz Tonight CNN
The Philippine Daily Inquirer, in this regard (last updated 02:42am, 08/06/2006, Published on page A1 of the August 6, 2006 issue) states: HIS pals, the imaginary dwarfs Armand, Luis and Angel, may not have impressed the justices of the Supreme Court but, according to dismissed Judge Florentino Floro Jr., he and his three friends were superstars among psychics and believers of the occult throughout the world.

The high court last April dismissed the 53-year-old Floro, a Malabon Regional Trial Court judge, after finding that he was suffering from a mental disabling condition that it said made it impossible for him to discharge his judicial functions. Floro now claims that the news of his sackingwhich came out on CNN, Time magazine and The New York Times, among more than a hundred international news agencies and publicationshas given him and the three dwarfs immortality.12 In CNNs Showbiz Tonight show, aired May 3, 2006 - 19:00:00 ET, co-host A.J. Hammer singled out the news story on Floro as the story of the day. Although he joked that there was nothing wrong with consulting dwarfs from time to time, Hammer pointed to the three-year delay in the investigation of Floro as mind-boggling. The CNN TRANSCRIPT states: Welcome back to SHOWBIZ TONIGHT. I`m A.J. Hammer. It`s time now for the story today that made us say, "That`s ridiculous!" An ousted judge in the Philippines
wants his job back, but the country`s highest court says Florentino Floro is well, a little bit crazy.

The court fired Floro after he admitted to consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs. He said the dwarfs, Armand, Luis and Angel, helped him carry out healing sessions during the breaks in the chambers. Who doesn`t do that, really? Well, the court decided it didn`t need a mystic judge. So, after a three-year investigation, Floro was fired. Floro is, of course, appealing the decision.

Mystic dwarves Times Online Mark Stephens

I find myself in the the Far East again and never cease to be astonished at the legal news here. If you were a lawyer in Manila you may not be surprised to find that a local trial judge reportedly changed from blue court robes to black each Friday in order to "recharge his psychic powers". What might suprise you, however, is the fact that Judge Floro consulted three mystic dwarves named Armand, Luis and Angel, whom he claimed had helped him to carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. The Philippines Supreme Court has now reportedly sacked Judge Floro, observing that his "dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule." I love that the Supreme Court is worried that judicial alliances with magical dwarves might gradually erode the publics confidence in the judiciary. So a one-off dalliance is OK? I wonder what our Lord Chief Justice would say.

TORONTO, May 3, 2006 MANILA, The Philippines - A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted
consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the countrys Supreme Court.

They should not have dismissed me for what I believed, Florentino Floro, a trial judge in the capitals Malabon northern suburb, told reporters after filing his appeal. Floro was sacked last month and fined $780 (40,000 pesos) after a three-year investigation found he was incompetent, had shown bias in a case he was trying and had criticized court procedure, a ruling showed. He told investigators that three mystic dwarfs -- Armand, Luis and Angel -- helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. The Supreme Court said it was not within its expertise to conclude that Floro was insane, but agreed with the court clinics finding that he was suffering from psychosis.17 Reuters Group plc18 Reuters Group plc (LSE: RTR and NASDAQ: RTRSY); pronounced / /rtrz/ is a financial market data provider and news service that provides reports from around the world to newspapers and broadcasters.

Its main focus is on supplying the financial markets with information and trading products. Paul Julius Reuter, born to a rabbi in Kassel, Germany, noticed that, with the electric telegraph, news no longer required days or weeks to travel long distances. In 1850, the 34-year-old Reuter was based in Aachen, Germany, close to the Dutch and Belgian border, and began using the newly opened Berlin Aachen telegraph line to send news to Berlin. But there was a 76-mile (122 km) gap in the line between Aachen and Brussels. Reuter spotted the opportunity to speed up news between Brussels and Berlin by using pigeons to bridge the gap in the line.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, Editorial Page, OPINION JOURNAL, reported: 'I Never Consulted Any Imaginary Dwarf'
In May we noted the case of a Florentino Floro, a Philippine judge who, according to Reuters, "claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs" and had "asked for his job back after being sacked by the country's Supreme Court." This morning we received an email from Judge Floro, who would like to clarify matters: On April 6, 2006, the Philippine Supreme Court RELIEVED (separated--it did not dismiss) me from judicial service, and paid me 3 years back wages, by reason of PSYCHOSIS, a medical incapacity -because I allegedly believed in dwarves, angel of death, inflicting sicknesses, healing, prophecy, psychic phenomena. And (in writing) predicted the downfall of 13th Philippine President Joseph Estrada (on December, 1998) who was ousted by people power on January 20, 2001.

49

TRUTH: I never used the word "DWARVES" in any DECISION, and I never consulted any imaginary dwarf to pen my decisions; my detractors submitted these false evidence or lies to replace me with their political candidate; what I do believe in is: a) in the so-called (my) SPIRIT GUIDES or PROTECTORS: LUIS, is the KING OF ALL KINGS of ELEMENTALS/spirits worldwide (I opine due to his lights, violet and white); and b) he is GOD's ANGEL (Genesis, Exodus, etc.)-what St. Paul teaches: Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Prophecy and Spiritual Healing. I am GIFTED; I never tried to develop my psychic powers, since these are God's GIFTs to me--TO HEAL and TO PROPHESY. So the story turns out to be not as crazy as it sounded.19 The Wall Street Journal (WSJ)20 is an Englishlanguage international daily newspaper published by Dow Jones & Company in New York City with Asian and European editions.

A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. --- BBC News
Last Updated: Friday, 18 August 2006, 01:57 GMT 02:57 UK

Second Most Popular & Second Best Read of the Day: World News, Asia-Pacific. Florentino Floro was appealing against a threeyear inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias. He told investigators three mystic dwarves Armand, Luis and Angel - had helped him to carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. 'Dwarf dalliance' The Manila trial judge had asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the complaint and return him to the bench, after being sacked in April. From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal. Florentino Floro "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed," Mr Floro told reporters after filing his appeal in May. The judge said he had made a covenant with his dwarf friends that he could write while in a trance and that he had been seen by several people in two places at the same time. Judge Floro reportedly changed from blue court robes to black each Friday "to recharge his psychic powers".

II. Freedom of Religion in the Judiciary: California Court of Appeals Justice William W. Bedsworth and the 3 Dwarfs

53

My hat's off to former-Judge Florentino Floro and his ... uh ... staff. Judges and Dwarfs Don't Mix
Since the enactment of the first Philippine fundamental law, statutes and Rules23 (Act No. 136, the Judiciary Law of the Second Philippine Commission - reaffirmed by the US Congress with the passage of the Philippine Bill of 1902; the Administrative Code of 1917; Act 190, the Code of Civil Procedure; General Order No. 58 - procedure in trial of criminal cases; the 1940, 1948, and 1964 old Rules of Court - derived from the Rules of Procedure by the American Society, the Codes of Civil Procedures of New York and California, and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure - in 1938 by the U.S. Supreme Court; adopted in 1934 by Act, 28 U.S.C.A. # 2071-2; the 1980 Judiciary Reorganization Law, and the 1997 Code of Civil Procedure as amended, inter alia), Philippine judicial history has never witnessed the perplexing and mystifying spectacle of: a Foreign Magistrates Quintessential Salute, Utterly Sincere and Compassionate Sympathy to a Filipino Jurists ---

Unprecedented Separation from Judicial Service due to Belief in Dwarves, psychic phenomena / inflicting sickness, and Angel of Death, inter alia (Psychosis). The Philippine RULES OF COURT was practically copied from the Rules of Procedure of California (where Justice Bedsworth24 is one of the notable incumbent CA Justice, or most publicized). After cursing the judicial system, with eloquence and brilliance, combined with sarcastic, sardonic and mordant gusto or passion, the eminent California Appellate Magistrate (a pillar of the Orange County Appellate California Court, who graduated cum laude at LMU, Los Angeles, and Juris Doctor at Berkeley), tersely but scholarly published his first Blog: Posted by William W. Bedsworth on Monday, June 12, 2006 at 18:01 --- He wrote: Judges are, by and large, not the flamingos of the justice swamp. Present company excluded, we tend to be temperate, conservative and ... well, judicious. I've been watching this system for 35 years and I've pretty much concluded that the first question maybe not the most important one, but the first one the governor asks about any judicial candidate is, "What are the chances I'll ever see this person's name again if I appoint him/her?"

Only if the appointments secretary answers, "Zero. No chance. Zip, zilch, nada, bupkis, ain't gonna happen; fuhgeddaboudit" Every quarter the Judicial Conduct Reporter lands on my desk and I put aside whatever I'm working on to read it. Talk about psychotherapy. Forget Brandeis and Cardozo, I feel like Gandhi. The things other judges are doing make me want to call Davies and ask what took him so long! Usually the Judicial Conduct Reporters have a theme. Usually it's sexual harassment. Sexual harassment seems to be the judicial equivalent of the common cold. But there are other themes: bullying people, inappropriate gifts, ill-advised charitable activities. One of my favorites was Judicial Road Rage. This was a collection of guys who didn't just yell at another motorist or flip them off, but had them arrested. These people actually sent their bailiffs out, or called the sheriff, and had motorists whose driving offended them tossed into the hoosegow. Not just one guy who did that, several of them! A gaggle! At the risk of sounding provincial, most of these do not involve California judges. Whether it reflects strong moral fiber or mere lack of imagination, our judges don't seem as prone to things like making decisions by flipping a coin (summer 2003) or falsely claiming to have won the Medal of Honor (summer 1995). Nor do we talk to imaginary mystic dwarfs. Yep. That's what it says: imaginary mystic dwarfs. Until today, I would not have considered my lack of involvement with imaginary mystic dwarfs a great achievement.
56

Until today, I would not have understood it as a compliment if someone said, "I've got some issues with Bedsworth; about the best thing I can say about him is he doesn't talk to imaginary mystic,dwarfs." But today I found out the mystic dwarf thing is grounds for removal of a judge in the Philippines. According to Reuters, "A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the country's Supreme Court." Wow. I'm too old to use the word "awesome," but I just don't know how else to describe that. As judicial flameouts go, that's Krakatoa. My hat's off to former-Judge Florentino Floro and his ... uh ... staff. This beats the hell out of anything the Judicial Conduct Reporter's come up with lately. And I just love it. I love it because it appeared when I was right up against my deadline. I love it because it makes me feel superior. I love it because I've never previously gotten to type the phrase "imaginary mystic dwarfs." And I love it because the guy is APPEALING! As near as I can determine, he's making this out to be a freedom of religion issue. He says, "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed." Certainly, I can sympathize with that position. The prospect of judges being removed because of their personal belief systems is anathema to all of us. But I think once it's established that you, "told investigators that three mystic dwarfs Armand, Luis and Angel helped you carry out healing sessions during breaks in chambers," you gotta expect to trudge through a little grief.
57

I mean, these aren't just your ordinary, gardenvariety, run-of-the-mill imaginary mystic dwarfs. These are imaginary mystic healing dwarfs! And you're on a first-name basis with them. You gotta expect the local bar to be a little leery when you tell 'em, "Counsel, I regret that I cannot grant your motion. But if you'll just step into chambers, me and Luis and Armand will use our mystic powers to cure that arthritic knee of yours." Reuters doesn't elaborate on just what the judge could see in the future or whether Armand, Luis and Angel were not only mystic and therapeutic, but precognitive as well but I'm not sure saying you can see into the future requires much elaboration. Certainly it made Judge Floro's future pretty clear. I have no doubt that if I had told ANY of the lawyers who appeared before me, EVER, that me and the mystic healing dwarfs were gonna cure a little deafness and then go out for a run over the lunch hour and that when we returned we'd have the name of next year's Preakness winner, Certainly the Philippine Supreme Court thinks it lowers your score. Although they were very diplomatic about it. According to Reuters, "The Supreme Court said it was not within its expertise to conclude that Floro was insane, but agreed with the court clinic's finding that he was psychotic." I'm not sure just what distinction they were drawing here. They may have been saying, "We're not psychiatrists, so we can't say he's gone stark, staring loony tunes on us, but we certainly agree with the doctors who said it." Or they may have concluded that, in today's world, one psychosis hardly differentiates you from the rest of society; it takes at least two or three to qualify for a diagnosis of insanity.

58

Either way, they confiscated his robe and his ruby slippers and fined him $780. And, mirabile dictu, Judge Floro is appealing. I don't have a clue who to. Who do you appeal to after the Philippine Supreme Court disrobes you? Seems to me, you and the dwarfs have pretty much topped out when you lose in your nation's supreme court. I can't really see The Hague taking this one on. But Judge Floro has vowed an appeal, and, since he can see into the future, I have to assume it's gonna come to pass. And I'm not about to take a chance that I might miss the outcome of this saga. I'm going online as soon as I finish writing this to subscribe to the Philippine Judicial Conduct Quarterly. Then I'm gonna contact the dwarfs and see if they can do anything about. Comments Comments by Lester F. Hardy from United States on Thursday, June 15, 2006 at 20:12 - IP Logged Lester F. Hardy - a Santa Rosa, California (CA) Real Estate Law Lawyer said: Having read Judge Floro's posting on this blog, I am inclined to revise my suggestion. In his case I think sixteenth century Spain would be a far better choice than contemporary Iceland. Icelandic elves, at least in so far as I can judge from the available literature, have little or nothing in common with avenging angels and similarly disposed spirit guides. Torquemada, on the other hand, might have found a use for Judge Floro's unusual capabilities. Comments by Lester F. Hardy from United States on Thursday, June 15, 2006 at 14:00
59

I think perhaps that what Judge Floro needs is a simple change of venue. Consider Iceland, where government agencies consult maps identifying the location of elf-abodes before siting projects (a google search will readily turn up articles by Rolf Soderlind of Reuters, Colin Nickerson of the Boston Globe, and Sarah Lyall of the New York Times (7/13/05).The consideration given in some nations to elf-habitat has prompted at least one observer to suggest that elves enjoy legal protection, or "elf rights", in both Iceland and Ireland (look for "Do Elves Have Rights" by Jeremy Harte; see also a discussion of elves in the context of a Yale Law School party at the Yale Daily News) One has to consider the possibility that in Iceland, where according to some, 10% believe outright in the existence of elves and more than half think its possible or probable, including the President (opinion poll references shows up in a number of news articles, including those by Soderlind and Nickerson) a judge professing the beliefs expressed by Judge Soro might blend right in.Come to think of it, the Ninth Circuit might want to consider a move as well.25 Many Philippine Judges and Justices (including their personnel) were and are very corrupt. They regularly demand, extort and receive bribes - as the Court ruled that bribery can only be punished per entrapment proceedings. The Psychic Judge merely cites statistics, which is part of orthodox science. This is, for sure, what Justice Bedsworth described as:

Mahar Mangahas, Social Weather Station Survey26 SWS survey: Lawyers say judiciary more corrupt

Judicial corruption
On January 25, 2005, and on December 10, 2006, Philippines Social Weather Stations released the results of its 2 surveys on corruption in the judiciary; it published that: a) like 1995, 1/4 of lawyers said many/very many judges are corrupt. But (49%) stated that a judges received bribes, just 8% of lawyers admitted they reported the bribery, because they could not prove it. [Tables 8-9]; judges, however, said, just 7% call many/very many judges as corrupt[Tables 10-11]; b) "Judges see some corruption; proportions who said - many/very many corrupt judges or justices: 17% in reference to RTC judges, 14% to MTC judges, 12% to Court of Appeals justices, 4% to Shari'a Court judges, 4% to Sandiganbayan justices and 2% in reference to Supreme Court justices [Table 15]. MORE lawyers nowadays complain of corruption in the judicial system compared to 10 years ago, according to the Social Weather Stations. One out of two lawyers knows of a trial judge in their city or province who has taken a bribe but they did not report it because they could not prove it, said the SWS. In a briefing among lawyers Tuesday night, SWS president Mahar Mangahas said the perception of corruption in the various courts from the municipal trial courts all the way up to the Supreme Court -has risen among lawyers in the last 10 years.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Weather_Stations

61

Our lawyers are more critical now than before," Mangahas told the lawyers as he presented the survey findings for the first time. The SWS polled 889 trial judges -- or 61 percent of all trial judges in the country -- and 400 lawyers from November 2003 to July 2004 to get their perceptions on various aspects of the judicial system. The last such survey was undertaken by SWS from 1994 to 1996."As in 1995, one-fourth of present lawyers say that many or very many judges are corrupt. Although half or 49 percent say they know a case in their own city or province where a judge took a bribe, only 8 percent said they reported the bribery. The main excuse of those who kept silent is that they could not prove it," the SWS said. Among judges, only 7 percent said that many or very many judges were corrupt. The SWS said the judges' perception of the extent of corruption among court personnel was the same as in 1996. "What has increased is the proportion of judges seeing many lawyers as corrupt," it said. Mangahas said the survey showed that corruption "remains a serious problem in the judicial system but it is not cultural."

'Penis Pump' Judge Convicted

June 24, 2006 -- While seated on the bench, an Oklahoma judge used a male enhancement pump, shaved and oiled his nether region, and pleasured himself, state officials charged yesterday in a petition to remove the jurist. According to the below complaint filed by the Oklahoma Attorney General, Donald D. Thompson, 57, was caught in the act by a clerk, trial witnesses, and his longtime court reporter (these unsettling first-hand accounts will make you wonder what's going on under other black robes). Visitors to Thompson's Creek County courtroom reported hearing a "swooshing" sound coming from the bench, a noise the court reporter said "sounded like a blood pressure cuff being pumped up." Thompson, the complaint charges, even pumped himself up during an August 2003 murder trial. The AG's petition quotes Thompson (pictured above) as admitting that the pump was "under the bench" during the murder case (and at other times), but he denied using the item, which was supposedly a "gag gift from a friend."28 A Judicial and Bar Council staff advised Judge Floro, while she was reading the Corona Decision: Judge, manghipo ka na lang, para 6 months na lang and suspension mo It was after the July 8, 2004 promulgation of the squeezing-kissing Judge Caminade judgment and the 5th year suspension of Judge Floro, that the clerk issued the dire statement.

Philippine Sexual Harrassment Raps

SC upholds Cebu judge's suspension Posted: 12:01 PM | Jul. 15, 2004, INQ7.net THE SUPREME Court upheld a Court of Appeals decision suspending Cebu City Judge Anacleto Caminade for six months without pay for sexually harassing two of his subordinates. The first complainant, lawyer Grace Veloso, alleged that on March 9, 2001, Caminade squeezed her right thigh and kissed her hand while they were alone in his office. The second complainant, court clerk Joeylynn Quinoes, claimed that on three different occassions in February 2001, Caminade squeezed her hand while she handed him court papers. She added that on Feb. 14, 2001, Caminade forcibly kissed her on the cheek.29

Philippine Marked Money Judge Fully Reinstated

Judge Floro met Briblery Judge Philbert Iturralde at El Kabayo Equestrian Center, Subic, Olongapo City, SBMA on March, 2001, after the latter was acquitted and reinstated with back wages. Judge Iturralde confided that the key to the release of his decision was the kindness of Gov. Ito Ynares, of Rizal (brother of Justice Consuelo Ynares-Santiago, who helped the Judge to be appointed thru JBC member, deceased Francisco Tito Santiago, husband of ponente S.C. J. Ynares-Santiago).

Judge Iturralde was allowed to talk to Chief Justice Davide, Jr. and the ponente J. Ynares-Santiago about the case, and after Justice Ramirez recommended his dismissal due to bribery, in view of overwhelming evidence, thru testimony of several NBI agents: On April 19, 1999, agents of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) conducted an entrapment operation involving Judge Wilfredo S. Suriaga., Presiding Judge, MCTC, Angeles City Respondent Judge Iturralde What complainant Federico Calilung said in his sworn statement (Exhibit A) that respondent Judge Suriaga assured him (Calilung) there would be no problem in the case on appeal because Judge Iturralde himself assured him (Suriaga) of a favorable decision in consideration of the amount of P250,000.00, to which he (Iturralde) agreed, is totally hearsay and not true. Federico Calilungs testimony that although he was not able to talk to Judge Iturralde himself, it was his lawyer, Atty. Marlon Lauder, who did regarding the case on appeal and Judge Iturralde said he should talk to Judge Suriaga instead because they had already come to an agreement regarding the matter, is again totally hearsay and not true. What the Calilungs swore in their affidavit dated April 20, 1999, that Judge Suriaga instructed them to prepare the money and told them there was no problem in the appeal as Judge Iturralde has assured them of a favorable decision and about the scheduled pay-off on April 19, 1999 at his rented house where Judge Iturralde would receive the money, is likewise totally hearsay and not true. So is the alleged telephone call by Judge Suriaga insinuating that he (respondent Judge Iturralde) was at the other end of the line, is totally hearsay and not true.
65

At 1:35 in the afternoon of April 19, he was in his sala conducting a hearing as scheduled in the calendar for that day starting from about 1:30 oclock in afternoon and ending at about 4:00 oclock p.m. He was supposed to hear twelve cases for that day starting from 1:30 oclock. He arrived at his sala about 12:30 oclock noon, took his lunch and went over the record of the cases involved. On the basis of the foregoing evidence, the Investigator, (Ret.) Justice Pedro A. Ramirez recommended the dismissal of both respondents with the forfeiture of benefits except accrued leaves.2.] The administrative complaint against respondent Philbert I. Iturralde is REFERRED back to the Office of the Court Administrator for further investigation. In the meantime, his preventive suspension is hereby LIFTED.. ACCORDINGLY, Judge Philbert I. Iturralde is entitled to back salaries, allowances and other economic benefits, INCLUDING RATA and EME, during the period of his preventive suspension in A.M. No. RTJ-99-1437, EXCLUDING that which accrued during the ninety (90) day period of preventive suspension pending investigation. The FMO-OCA is thus ordered to RE-COMPUTE the total amount thereof and to RETURN to Judge Iturralde any overpayment that the latter has made or for Judge Iturralde to REFUND the balance due on the re-computed amount, if any. 30

Religious Freedom in the Judicial Department

EVERSON v. BOARD OF EDUCATION, 330 U.S. 1 (1947). - MR. JUSTICE HUGO BLACK The "establishment of religion" clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. In the words of Jefferson, the clause against establishment of religion by law was intended to erect "a wall of separation between church and State." No man may be punished for what he thinks.

GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

As closed Catholic and former Vincentian seminarian (and Jesuit candidate for priesthood) Judge Floro believes that his God-given gifts of bi-location, exorcism, prophecy, mystical levitation and spiritual healing, inter alia, never contradicted his judgeship position. He believes as St. Paul did believe and teach to the gentiles, that: * Some Christians claim that when they align themselves with God through Jesus Christ that the Holy Spirit dwells inside of them. Some consider conversion to be the point of filling, others hold to a "later filling", "second work of grace", or "baptism of the Spirit" when a believer begins manifesting various gifts and abilities. * The Holy Spirit empowers the believer for ministry in the church and world and allows him/her to commune with the Creator.

68

* The Sevenfold or Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit32 poured out on a believer at baptism (accordant to Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, died 397) are the: 1. Spirit of Wisdom; 2. Spirit of Understanding; 3. Spirit of Counsel; 4. Spirit of Strength; 5. Spirit of Knowledge; 6. Spirit of Godliness; 7. Spirit of Holy Fear; (from De Sacramentis 3.8). Ambrose believed that all of these were poured out on the believer at baptism. * Another understanding of Gifts of the Spirit holds that different gifts are given to different people, perhaps even at different times, according to the needs of the church, to carry out God's work on earth. Saint Paul believed that all Christians should work together, each with different functions like the parts of a human body. See 1 Corinthians 12. Mr. Justice Black, in his dissenting opinion in In re SUMMERS, and in his pointed language in SCHOOL DISTRICT vs. SCHEMPP, wrote: Under our Constitution men are punished for what they do or fail to do and not for what they think and believe. Freedom to think, to believe, and to worship, has too exalted a position in our country to be penalized on such an illusory basis.

Floro...is unfit to stay on because of his 'medically disabling condition of the mind.'...Examined by Court-appointed doctors, Floro admitted that he believed in 'psychic visions.' He said he had dwarf friends named 'Luis, Armand and Angel.' Floro claimed he could write while in a trance and could be in two places at the same time. He considered himself an 'angel of death' out to punish lawbreakers, especially corrupt court officials...'Psychic phenomena, even assuming [they] exist, have no place in a judiciary...,' the Court said...."

Mystic Dwarfs and Judicial Review - - - At last we have an explanation for one of the great mysteries of American constitutional law. From MSN.com: MANILA, The Philippines A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the countrys Supreme Court. Now consider the following language from Griswold v. Connecticut: Specific guarantees in the Bill of Rights have penumbras, formed by emanations from those guarantees that help give them life and substance. See Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497, 516-522 (dissenting opinion). Various guarantees create zones of privacy. Penumbras? Emanations? Life and Substance? Twilight Zones of privacy? For a long time I thought that this was point at which the drugs took affect. Surely such terms can have no meaning in constitutional reasoning. Now the scales fall from my eyes. Mr. Justice Douglas was channeling for mystic dwarfs. Justices Armand, Luis, and Angel co-wrote the opinion.38

"Psychic" judge didnt foresee getting fired

MANILA, The Philippines (AP) A Philippine judge who claims to possess supernatural powers, including the ability to see into the future, apparently hasnt mastered those forces he failed to foresee his own dismissal. The Supreme Court said it sacked Judge Florentino Floro, who worked in the Manila suburb of Malabon, after psychiatric and psychological tests concluded he was not fit for the job. Floro, who told a courtroom that he has psychic visions, also claimed he can appear in two places at once and is able to inflict pain on corrupt officials using his paranormal powers, the Supreme Court said in a statement. It said Floro admitted he believes in duwendes a Tagalog word that means mystic dwarfs and that he has a covenant with his dwarf friends Luis, Armand, and Angel. "His mental problems, for now, appear to render him unfit for the delicate task of dispensing justice," the Supreme Court said." May 7, 2006, Posted by Beth, 6:19 pm, Atlanta Georgia.

The world in the fullest sense, including the subtle influences that are often interpreted as paranormal or magick. Hychechora is Noumenal.Net's repository for articles, information and blogs pertaining to magick, divination and the paranormal. Che Vaugh writes on Judge Floro and the 3 mystic dwarves. My thoughts on the matter. I share my home with a couple of spirits, some shadow people, some black blobs, one homunculus (tulpa) and a cat. I freely and publicly admit to practicing magick. Ive had clairvoyant experiences since I was five years old. I read tarot cards and have in the past practiced psychic healing. I would like to think all this does not mean Im insane, but to be sure, there are psychiatrists who would likely think otherwise. After all, the term magical thinking is often used in the field of psychology to denote a symptom of a variety of mental illnesses. The field of psychiatry suffers from the same categorization and specialization that afflicts the rest of western medicine. Dis-ease is viewed as a list of symptoms and the whole self of the patient is not taken into consideration. Because of this, psychiatry is ill-equipped to assess paranormal or psychic experiences within a spiritual context. Being psychic does not mean you are insane. Of course, nor does being psychic mean youre not insane. In so-called enlightened societies which view such things with extreme skepticism, or in highly religious societies that view supernatural gifts as demonic, having psychic abilities can be very stressful. Some psychics hide their secret forever, and go about a nice quiet normal life. Some psychics prefer to see their intuitive abilities as coming from outside them, from god or an angel, or the flying spaghetti monster.
80

Some psychics become healers, teachers, gurus and helpers. Other use their abilities to take advantage of others and form cults. There is a myth popular among the fluffy new-age set that psychics are people who are vibrating at a higher and more compassionate level of consciousness. Never has a bigger load of crap been uttered. Psychic ability is like other creative abilities, its like art or music - some people are born with a talent for it, other people develop the talent, but usually its a combination of the two. And just like musicians are no more wise or compassionate than everyone else, so psychics are no more wise and compassionate than anyone else. Ive known plenty of pissy artists and Ive known plenty of pissy psychics. Participation in any art, including the psychic art, has the potential to educate and enlighten the practitioner, but that doesnt mean it always does. I am in no position to ascertain whether Judge Floro is truly psychic, and in even less of a position to ascertain whether he is fit to perform his duties. I do know that I would not want to find myself in his courtroom, not because of any claims to psychic ability, but because of the extremity of his spiritual and religious beliefs. A judge should, ideally, be objective, and Judge Floro claims that his beliefs do not effect his courtroom decisions. But here in the US, time and time again we see judges not only allowing their religious beliefs to effect their decisions, but actually being chosen because it is expected of them to allow their religious beliefs to effect their decisions. Judges are no less human than the rest of us and all of us allow our beliefs to dictate our actions. I highly doubt Judge Floro is an exception. Judge Floro, like our own US president, claims that God put him into office. Such egotism - as we americans have seen - is a very dangerous thing for a person in power to have.
81

People who believe their power is bestowed by God are far more likely to misuse that power, thinking themselves invulnerable to scrutiny, and to the checks and balances that should be a part of every system of power. And I have to ask, if God really did want JudgeFloro in office, then why did God not do more to prevent the judges removal from office? I also have to question the nature of any spirit guide who would inflict an innocent child with epilepsy as punishment for the alleged crimes of his mother. This is not wisdom. This is not guidance. This is just nasty. But if, as Judge Floro claims, the guides were sent by the cruel creator/demiurge Yahweh-EloahIaldabaoth, then I suppose we shouldnt be too surprised by this behavior. Of course, all of the above is just my personal opinion. Just because the judges beliefs differ from mine doesnt mean he should be dismissed from his job. Just because I wouldnt want to find myself in his courtroom doesnt mean others feel the same way. So the following questions should be asked: Did the other members of the court lawyers, bailiffs, officers, transcriptionist respect the judge and find his decisions fair and balanced? Are the people of his jurisdiction satisfied with his performance as judge? The main consideration, religion, beliefs, psychic ability and eccentricities aside, should be this: Did he serve his community in a fair and admirable manner?46

BBC and Reuters published this bizarre news on astrology consultation by top officers:

British 'studied' Hitler's stars

Ludwig de Wohl was recruited by British intelligence chiefs British intelligence chiefs tried to guess Hitler's plans by studying his horoscope, according to files released by the National Archives.

UK reveals its spies had astrologer in World War Two - Reuters / BBC
LONDON British spies hired an astrologer during World War Two, although many thought he was a fraud, and even sent him to the United States on a propaganda mission, secret documents released on Tuesday revealed. The documents -- the latest in a trickle of British spy agency files being released over the past decade -- provide both a cloak-and-dagger story worthy of a Hollywood script and serious insights into British World War Two spycraft, said the security service's official historian, Christopher Andrew. Hungarian Ludwig von Wohl persuaded senior intelligence figures that he could replicate the forecasts of the Nazi leader's personal astrologer. He claimed that if London knew what astrological advice Hitler was getting, then they would know his next move. American tour Von Wohl, who was also known as Ludwig de Wohl, was a controversial figure. Although he was dismissed as a buffoon and a scoundrel by some of the military people he met, others suggested that he was extremely astute, with a keen insight into the thinking of leading Nazis. He cannot believe that anyone is going to reemploy this dangerous charlatan and confidencetrick merchant
83

MI6 Despite dismissing his claims of being from Hungarian nobility, MI5 hoped de Wohl could feed them information about his clients among the "great and the good". But the Special Operations Executive (SOE) - the wartime sabotage organisation - recruited de Wohl for its SO2 propaganda section, giving him the rank of captain and an army uniform. He is said to have loved to "strut" around London in his military clothes. In 1940 SOE sent de Wohl on a lecture tour of the United States aimed at convincing a sceptical public that Hitler could be defeated, and therefore that the US should enter the war. His mission was regarded as a great success, with his talks and interviews being given significant publicity. But the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in December 1941 dramatically brought the US into the conflict as Britain's ally. Astrological advice De Wohl returned to London and then came up with his proposal to examine the astrological advice being given to Hitler by Swiss stargazer Karl Ernst Krafft. De Wohl claimed that as Hitler relied heavily on Krafft's predictions, which were based on mathematics surrounding birthdates, the British could gain a unique insight into his thinking if they knew the astrological advice he was receiving. The plan appealed to some leading figures, including the Director of Naval Intelligence Admiral John Godfrey, who found Hitler's erratic strategic moves hard to work out. While his plan was enthusiastically embraced by member of SOE and the Political Warfare Executive, MI5 and MI6 were appalled. One of our senior officers comments that he cannot believe that anyone is going to re-employ this dangerous charlatan and confidence-trick merchant," a report from MI6 said.
84

Another MI5 officer said none of de Wohl's predictions had come true, apart from his forecast of Italy's entry into the war, which he made when it was "quite patent to anybody with the slightest knowledge of international affairs". Historians now say that Hitler took no notice at all of astrological forecasts. All the released files can be viewed at the National Archives in Kew, west London47.

Where will the Poisoned Dwarf strike next?

Now it can be told The Poisoned Dwarf's relatives at Red Cell in the Philippines have been interfering with the course of justice! A Filipino judge who "claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs" is asking to be reinstated after getting the sack for incompetence, Trial judge Florentino. Not surprisingly the Supreme Court's clinic declared that he was suffering from psychosis, although the court stopped short of calling him raving fucking mad. Rumors that Sir Gnomeship had got his Concorde out of mothballs have not been confirmed. I wonder if WPP has an office in Manila? 48 They're all over the fucking place!

Florentino and the Mystic Dwarves

No its not a concept album from some weird prog rock group from the 1970s. Florentino Floro is a Filipino trial Judge based in Manila. The mystic dwarves are Armand, Luis and Angel, and they are alleged to have helped carry out healing sessions in Florentinos chambers during breaks in the judges schedule. Floro lost his appeal to keep his job as a judge, with the Supreme Court of the Philipppines ruling that dalliance with dwarves would erode the publics esteem of the judiciary and make it an object of ridicule. Floro claims he is the victim of injustice and is the patsy in this dwarf conspiracy. He has a six part video on youtube.com purporting to be the true story.49

Nature Spirits 4 Kinds of Elementals

An elemental is a mythological being first appearing in the alchemical works of Paracelsus. Traditionally, there are four types: * gnomes, earth elementals * undines, water elementals * sylphs, air elementals * salamanders, fire elementals. The exact term for each type varies somewhat from source to source, though these four are now the most usual. Most of these beings are found in folklore as well as alchemy; their names are often used interchangeably with similar beings from folklore. The sylph, however, is rarely encountered outside of alchemical contexts. THE FIRST Western scientist to classify the different elementals or nature spirits and describe their characteristics was Paracelsus, a 16th-century Swiss physician, alchemist, mystic, and medical critic. Paracelsus is considered the most original medical thinker of the 16th century, far ahead of other medical scientists of his time. As a medical reformer he criticized the medical practices of his contemporary doctors, earning him their ire. He pioneered in chemical pharmacology and therapeutics, and was the first to expose the errors of Galen. But Paracelsus, despite his outstanding contributions to medical science, also believed in supernatural things, intuition and the invisible causes of illness. According to a pamphlet written by Manly Palmer Hall, Paracelsus "warned his contemporaries that to divide therapy from religion was a grave error in judgment. To him, the advancement of practical therapy depended upon a continuous exploration of the invisible side of nature, a search for causes and the realization that man was not simply a physical creature, but a living soul whose internal attitudes could profoundly affect his health."
88

Paracelsus50 (11 November or 17 December 1493 in Einsiedeln, Switzerland - 24 September 1541) was born Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, he took the name Paracelsus later in life, meaning "beside or similar to Celsus", a Roman physician from the first century CE. His motto was "alterius non sit qui suus esse potest" which means "let no man belong to another that can belong to himself". One of the most original contributions of Paracelsus to human knowledge is his classification of the different types of elementals, which people are still using until now, adopting his descriptions of them. It is not certain where Paracelsus obtained his knowledge of elementals or nature spirits. According to Hall, "He may have gained his information from the Arabs who had elaborate teachings about these invisible people. The doctrine of elementals from the point of view of Paracelsus begins with the following premise: "There are two kinds of flesh, the flesh derived from Adam and the flesh that is not from Adam. The flesh from Adam is coarse, earthly flesh that is tangible and can be held and tied. The flesh not from Adam is subtle and cannot be bound or held because it is not derived from earth. The flesh from Adam cannot pass through solids. The flesh not from Adam passes through solid substances." The elementals or nature spirits are what Paracelsus refers to as "flesh not from Adam." They differ from humans in two respects: "First, they have a body composed of only one element, and they do not have a soul. They have flesh, blood, and bone. They speak and eat and drink; wander about and bear children. Yet they are not human, nor are they truly spirit.

They are swift like spirits yet in many ways they resemble man. They partake of both spirit and matter, yet they are apart from both, being more like a conjunction of them, like a mixture of sour and sweet, or colors blended." This explains why elementals can get hurt and why they also grow old and die, despite the fact that they are spirits. According to Paracelsus, "Elementals are unlike pure spirits for they are mortal, but they are not like man for they have no soul. They are higher than human beings in some respects because they resemble spirits, but are without moral nature because they have no soul. Christ died for man to save his soul. He did not die for the elementals because these creatures did not come from Adam. As man is made in the image of God, the elementals are made in the image of man." The elementals were created before humans. Their line of evolution is from gnomes to angelic creatures, whereas the human's line of evolution is from animal nature to divinity. And there is a great variety in their forms, habitats, and characters. What is the purpose of their being? According to Paracelsus, they exist to guard and protect the treasures in their respective elements. The gnomes and elves protect the treasures under the earth; the nymphs, the treasures of the seas; the sylphs, the treasures of the atmosphere; and the salamanders, the treasures in volcano and hot springs. This is why treasure hunting is seldom successful. A treasure hunter will never be able to get the treasures of the earth and water unless their elementals consent. Elementals also protect the environment and help in the balance of nature. They make the plants grow abundantly, the air clean and the waters full of fish. According to Paracelsus, "Nymphs appear in human form and clothing, are beautiful and eager to tempt by their art.
90

(These are probably the engkantadas or enchanted beings in Philippine folklore and mythology). The forest people (gnomes, kapres and dwendes) are shy and unstable. The salamanders are often seen in fiery form. (These are probably the Santelmo or St. Elmo's Fire). They are seen floating in swamps, meadows and fields, but do not dwell with man. No one could be safe from fire in their presence. Sometimes they are known to associate with sorcerers and witches." Can elementals marry humans? There are many stories, especially in the provinces, of engkantos and kapres marrying human beings and even having children by them. Apparently, even the greatest 16thcentury physician, Paracelsus, believed this was possible. According to him, one overwhelming desire of elementals, specially the nymphs and fairies, was to have an immortal soul and become human. This could only happen by marrying or cohabiting with a human being, so their children could have a soul. Says Paracelsus: "Since elementals resemble man except in one aspect, that they do not possess an immortal soul, it can be understood that if a nymph should appear to a man and he marries her, she can live with him and bear children. Their children are endowed with a soul because one parent is from Adam, and therefore has received the gift of soul and immortality and became a human being by the sacrament of marriage and union with God and a man." Continues Paracelsus: "All elementals have the greatest power when they are near to their proper element. If a man has a nymph for a wife, she must be kept away from water, or she may vanish: Nor must he offend her upon or near water. If they happen to be on a boat and he offends her, she will throw herself overboard and disappear. She might as well be dead for him. He never will see her again. Yet she is not dead, and he still is wedded to her. He cannot lawfully take another wife, for he is not divorced.
91

He is bound to her for eternity, though she has departed from husband and children. If the man should nevertheless take another wife, the nymph will kill him, which has happened many times."51 The three Mystic Dwarves are considered as channelers who could relay information from realms beyond. The Earth is not just for humans and animals LET us take a break from the pestering political noises for a while. Do you recall the three dwarffriends of the cashiered regional trial court judge? Well, the story has not yet been closed as the judge, a believer of etheric worlds beyond the world we know, has filed a disbarment case against some of the leading lights of the High Tribunal. The action taken by dismissed Judge Florentino Floro of Malolos, Bulacan is unprecedented if we have to consider the significance of the true believers of the so-called New Age, where the three dwarves are considered as channelers who could relay information from realms beyond. If we have to take the words of the New Age advocates, the channelers composed of diverse entities, among them the elementals purported to bring transcendental wisdom. Well, of course the channelees are condemned as charlatans flimflamming the gullible.

51

WikiPedia, Paracelsus; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracelsus

92

The preponderance of nonbelievers in the New Age theory that spiritualists and trance-inducers or channelers of varied types vastly outnumber and the latter dubs the phenomenon as a shallow quasifaith. And yet sometime in the last quarter of the 20th century, a serious study of the New Ageconsidered as the counterculture postswas conducted by the University of Chicagos National Opinion Research Center and the disquieting discovery was that almost one-third of the Americans believe in psychic phenomenon or experience. Superstitious beliefs among our folks, either in the countryside or urban centers are prevalent. If we take into account the gods in Ancient Greece that they communed with mortals through oracles as time flowed with downstream, the conduits of channelers are no longer the sance rooms but conference halls and media facilities where some foresights are given or predicated drawn from trances of thoughts empirically-based. The transcendental philosophy of Immanuel Kant could reach unchartered shores of ideas if we have to consider the vagueness of his a priori principle, which is abhorred by other legal perspectives notably among the adherents of the positivists who advocate the pure theory of law. Even the latter description could bring about an endless minding of the purity of the law, which through the needles eye could not yield the minute essence of lucidity. The nuances of sances or psychic phenomena or the use of the medium are totally absent from all legal perspectives. But stories about the transcendental wisdom about performances under spirit guidance have been reported.
93

Two famous women considered as successful trance lecturers were Emma Hardinage Britten of England and Cora L. V. Richmond of United States, but were however criticized by famous novelist Henry James in his novel The Bostonians, discrediting spiritualisms relation to feminism. If ever the case of the former judge Florentino Floro, which has circulated around the globe through various blogs and print media reaching as far as South Africa, it would be an interesting discourse on the part of the magistrates assigned to assess the claim of said judge, even if it would debunk the existence of the dwarf-friends and the psychical elements. Even imaginations were tabooed for centuries. Who would ever think that the imaginative minds of the cartoonists-creators of Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers exploring the space would come into reality? Who would also ever think that the lost continent of Atlantis was later discovered and photographic evidence were published? In the case of the beleaguered judge and his three dwarf-friends, are there decisions he rendered that he was out of sync? The great Harvard psychologist Henry James acknowledging that medium Leonora Piper was possessed with the power of telepathy and clairvoyance encouraged his colleagues into believing trance phenomena noting that some few individuals are media possessed of supernatural powers. Scientists admit that there are unexplored realms within the human mind according to Henry James, and his interests in psychical research was frowned upon by his fellow intellectuals. But legal science is a thick-walled fortress that only the empirical truth is given the ultimate badge of the last resort.
94

And Judge Floros misadventure in the legal realm has merited a long long way for all those who share the beliefs that the Earth is not just for humans and animals.52

Judge in Philippines Discriminated Against for Being Psychic

The persecution of the psychically gifted continues. Judge Florentino Floro, who until recently presided over a jurisdiction in suburban Manila, was removed from the bench on "administrative grounds" because of prejudice against those who have the ability to see the future and conduct supernatural healing sessions in chambers. Judge Floro also apparently started each court day with a reading from the Book of Revelations, which is just the kind of thing you want to hear before trying to plead down a traffic ticket. Judge Floro also said he had made a covenant with "dwarf friends" -- who hasn't? -- and claimed a variety of other supernatural abilities. The country's Supreme Court ruled that, assuming for the sake of argument that psychic phenomena did exist, they had "no place in a judiciary duty-bound to apply only positive law." The court stressed that Floro was not guilty of any misconduct or corruption, but found that he did have "mental problems" that rendered him "unfit for the delicate task of dispensing justice." For now, maybe, Supreme Court, but when the moon turns blood-red and the Beast with ten heads and seven horns reveals itself, then you guys are really up shit creek without Floro around, that's all I can say.

Judge's Mystic Dwarf Friends Identified

I previously reported on Judge Florentino Floro, a judge in the Philippines who was removed from the bench recently for acts as innocuous as fortune-telling, faith healing in chambers, and beginning each court session with a cheery reading from the Book of Revelations. He also said he had made a covenant with "dwarf friends," but little was known about these friends until this week. Floro was back in the news because he is appealing the ruling by the country's Supreme Court removing him from office. The grounds are discrimination against people who tell fortunes, heal people, read from Revelations and make covenants with mystic dwarfs. (Also, he "criticized court procedure," probably the last straw.) "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed," Floro told reporters after filing his appeal. According to the court, it did not dismiss him for what he believed, it dismissed him for believing something that was nutty. A court-appointed expert found that Floro was suffering from psychosis and the court agreed, partly because of the above and also because of new revelations about the role of the "mystic dwarfs." Of which there were three, named "Armand," "Luis" and "Angel." Their end of the covenant was apparently to help Floro conduct his healing sessions, because as you know faith healing is way more difficult without a mystic dwarf or two around.55 Link: Reuters.com. - May 04, 2006 in Lowering the Bench

Lowering the Bar Cited as International Precedent

As many of you know, I have long had two primary goals for this enterprise: to provide some entertainment for myself and other attorneys (and friends of attorneys) slogging away at their various billing stations, and to be cited as authority in a brief filed with the Supreme Court of the Philippines. Today I can at least be sure that one of those goals has been met. I mentioned in the "Lowering the Bar" presentation I did two weeks ago that I had heard from Judge Florentino Floro, who I had written about twice before. You may recall that Judge Floro was dismissed (or "separated") from the bench in Malabon City, a suburb north of Manila, after questions arose about his practices of starting court days with a reading from the Book of Revelations, conducting faith-healing sessions in chambers, and consulting three "mystic dwarves" named Luis, Armand and Angel for advice and predictions of future events. As Judge Floro was a judge that seemed to fall within the scope of this project and I did mention him a couple of times. Judge Floro emailed me (and a number of others who had written about him) a couple of weeks ago, primarily to thank everyone for writing about his case. He noted that he was appealing his case, forwarded us some pleadings, and was kind enough to answer a few questions. Here's an (edited) summary of the answers: LoTB: First, what is the difference between a separation and a dismissal? Is it possible you could be reinstated? If so, would you want to be a judge again? Was it fun to be a judge? JF: Dismissal, under our laws, carries with it perpetual disqualification & DISBARMENT. . . . I believe that the laws are in my favor. But, I cannot tell you what will be their votes. . . . I would want to be a judge [again]. It is not fun, since I am honest.
99

I had to wake up 6 am and sleep at 9pm and week ends I pen decisions; it is nightmare. But, my neighbor judges, they come to court, 10 am, deal only with juicy cases and they put in the backburner the not juicy ones; they play golf, 1 pm. This is not an exaggeration, since their staff and fixers do all the jobs. LoTB: Second, why did the press say that Luis, Armand and Angel were dwarves? Was this a mistranslation of dwende, the mischievous spirits believed to reside in anthills (also translated gnomes)? Are they truly of small stature? Did they help you with your opinions, and if so, do they have any legal training? JF: Answer: The names of my spirit guides are Luis, Armand and Angel; they are not the ordinary dwarves, gnomes, leprechauns, vulcans . . . Luis is the King of Kings of elementals, an angel of God; if you are a Christian, you can read this in genesis, etc. and you can click angels in encyclopedia.com or wikkipedia, etc. . . . In Ireland - a Catholic country - they can see dwarfs, but only the ordinary kind. LUIS IS THE KING OF ALL KINGS OF THESE. Usually, they are of small stature, but they only appear to me in the form of lights. TRUTH: I never used the word DWARVES in any DECISION, and I never consulted any imaginary dwarf to pen my decisions. LUIS is highly educated. LoTB: Third, you stated that you were the fifthbest psychic in the Philippines. Who do you think are the top four, and do any of them practice law? JF: I stated in 1998 that I believe our President Ferdinand Marcos is # 1. . . I specifically have the following gifts: cross of the tongue, lightning teeth, my eyes emit spiritual fires, and my hands emit extreme heat that heals the poorest of the poor (with heat-processed coconut oil). All of us are psychics to a degree but very few can bend spoons.

100

I was gifted with healing, bilocation, exorcism, etc. I graduated 2nd full honors and placed 12th in our 1983 Bar Exams, 87.55%. (Our Bar exam is the toughest, since many aspirants here who failed 3 x could easily pass your Bar in California, please do not be offended). LoTB: Fourth, I am very interested to know what verse or verses of the Bible you selected to begin each court day. One report stated that at least on some days these verses were from the Book of Revelations. Is that true, and what are your favorite verses from that Book? JF: In 1998, when I assumed office . . . I asked them to read the Book of revelations, because it is the hardest book but there it is, ALL. My favorite verses of the Bible are ECCLESIASTES, there the philosophy of lifes uselessness and injustice but God will judge everything done in secret. Also, the psalms, on curses on Gods punishment versus evil. LoTB: Have you seen The Omen? The first one, of course, not the remake. Do you know (or can you find out) why those in Hollywood would not recognize an original idea these days if Pughe, King of the Dwendes, brought them one on a silver platter? JF: I am sorry, I do not see movies, since I concentrate on horse racing, this is my life since 1972, 3 times I tried to be a jockey, but I ended up to be a lawyer. I think I had seen the original one, many years ago, I cant remember. Contrary to the Decision and Reports, I am a horse athlete, ordinary poor man who just rents a house, and I have no car. I live a very simple and financially poor life . . . . I want to buy a horse and to ride, its great fun. Sincerely, Judge Floro. Judge Floro and I have corresponded a few times now and he seems to be a very pleasant man who is certainly convinced of the justice of his cause. (Judge Floro, please let me know if I've misstated anything in this report.)

101

With his permission, I did talk about him and his case at the presentation a couple of weeks ago. I think it is fair to say that people were quite interested in the matter, although there is probably not much we can do from halfway around the world. Or at least that's what I thought. In a third supplemental pleading that Judge Floro forwarded me last night, I was a little surprised, but proud, to see that he had cited me as one of a number of worldwide authorities on his case. The pleading starts by reprinting most of an article on the case by Justice William Bedsworth, an associate justice in California's 4th District Court of Appeals, who has his own blog and who frequently publishes articles in the legal papers here as well. Judge Floro also cites (among others) another California attorney, Lester Hardy; David Pannick, a British attorney; Ken Blanchard, a management and business writer (The One Minute Manager); a French blogger; and Che Vaughn, a tarot reader and clairvoyant who shares her home with "a couple of spirits, some shadow people, some black blobs, one homunculus and a cat." Also, Lowering the Bar, which gets about two of the thirty pages. The posts are accurately quoted, I'm pretty sure, and the biographical information on me (from our firm's website) looks right too -- I have to admit, though, that Judge Floro embellished a bit by describing me as a "celebrated" San Francisco lawyer. My dog is generally excited to see me, but that's about the only celebration I generate.Judge Floro is asking for reinstatement and about four years' worth of back wages. As best I can tell from the pleadings, his argument is more or less that he should not have been separated from the bench just because of his beliefs, so long as he served his country and Malabon City in a fair and honorable manner.
102

That's a fair point -- who would you rather have as a judge: somebody who takes bribes; or an honest guy who happens to have lightning teeth and well-educated spirit friends but can pass the hardest bar exam in the world? I know my answer.I have to say though, Judge Floro, I don't know that citing the world's blog posts will add anything to to the heartfelt and very, very lengthy briefing you've already presented to the court. And you should always be careful when using sarcasm in pleadings, especially somebody else's. Also, I think a lot of practicing lawyers would suggest that there is life outside the law, and so maybe this is a good time to follow your dream of being more involved with the horses or the world of horse racing.

Prove there were no dwarves. I have a whole theory that racks upside intelligent design based on the theory that purple elves are responsible for light- matter-quantum interactions, and blue ogres responsible for gravitic, newtonian and relativistic interactions. They're invisible, and we've not built elf and ogre detectors. The theory matches all the observable universe. Now... prove me wrong.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY
Reader Sean Kehoe is up on the subject of vampires, it seems. At randi.org/jr/2006-05/051906sylvia.html#i13, I mentioned the problems of a Filipino magistrate in the Islands, but were now warned of an even more sinister reason why this Judge may have lost his job. Says Sean: He wasn't in communication with mystical dwarves, he was communing with vampires. Look at the names of the dwarfs. Both Armand and Louis are vampires from Anne Rice's popular series of vampire novels, and Angel is yet another vampire, this time a character from the Buffy television series.

Why are fictional vampires meddling in the Filipino legal system? Good question, Sean!58

Dwarves of Law revisited

Sunday, June 4. 2006 In this previous entry Dwarves of Law, we posted the news that a Philippine judge had been dismissed from his post for consulting mystical dwarfs among other things. Now, Damn Data can bring you the other side of the story. We emailed Judge Floro to ask him a few questions about his case and the following transcript has been edited for clarity and some spelling only. You can now read in Judge Florentino Floro's own words what he has to say about the dwarfs! Damn Data- You have been contacted by LUIS king of kings elementals - when did this happen and how did it manifest itself? Judge Floro - It was on June 2, 1983 that LUIS, the King of King of Elementals (I opine), first appeared to my mild retarded GIFTED brother Robert. At that time, since I was trained by Jesuits, ATENEO, PHILIPPINES, I never believed in this (PSI etc.). Until I went to treasure hunting, so I asked my brother Robert, and he promised me that Luis would make his presence felt. I waited until 1996 (12+ years) and weekly, I offered food for them believing absolutely in them even if I never saw them. I was predestined by him, LUIS to be his instrument against evil (they could not choose any, since these spirits are ordered from above, to guide the chosen one, me).

Hence, if I could do good, like healing the poorest of the poor and inflict illness upon the corrupt only. To mend ways and repent via illness, then their power against Satan and the black ones, would be increased by God. 1. A. So, I began to see LUIS' violet lights and white lights in 1996 (erratic times, no pattern, sometimes once a week at nights, and at daytime, the violets -- these are flashes, thousandth of a second; light travels 186,000 miles per second, then, if it travels million times then there would no more distinction between time and space, so STATE, no more matter, since E = mc2 as Einstein, said, but until this date we humans could not make time travel this past; so LUIS and Armand and Angel were created at the times of the Angels, and these lights are the very essence of the universe, time travel etc.. 1. B. I was tasked to be a judge by them, on my birthday I applied, Nov. 5, and I was appointed by the Philippine President Joseph Ejercito Estrada whom I predicted would not finish his term as he didnt, on Jan. 20,2001. My duty is to clean the judiciary and other government offices here of corruption and evil, via sicknesses. So, I was suspended because the JBC Member, Atty. Tesie Sison suffered a stroke and she falsified my I.Q. to 68 and that I believed and consulted dwarves. 6 3/4 years I waited until J. Nazario fought for me but she lost because a Justice was operated on who had suffered spinal cord problems, blaming me. 1. C. I first saw LUIS and Armand on March 1, 1996 via a vision that was more than a Dream and it occurred in a higher plane. Then on Good Friday - maybe about 2002 -LUIS again made his appearance, a similar vision on a higher plane. LUIS is "nakalakip" (Tagolog Philippine term, meaning, since 1996 he made a covenant that he would not leave me and would be with me spiritually for all moments provided I would not persecute the poor.
106

I see his violet and white lights maybe 20 times a month, no pattern when). Damn Data - What other entities (good and evil) have contacted you and what information have they imparted about their intent? Judge Floro - LUIS told me that their mortal enemies are the BLACKS, but these could not penetrate me because of LUIS' lights that enveloped me; last 2004, Nov. 5, my birthday, he promised (he gave me the sword, that whoever I would hold or touch by hand that is corrupt, would develop sickness forthwith) that I would be reinstated by 2006-2007 and he provided he would inflict the illnesses upon our Chief Justice Davide and my investigator, Justice P. Ramirez, both suffered carotid and angioplasty surgeries, etc. LUIS also appointed J. NAZARIO as the one destined by God to clean the Supreme Court and be an example to them; so I do not know of any other spirits, and I never contacted them; in fact, I never read any book on Psychic Phenomena coz I'm gifted; here in the Philippines, the foremost authority is Mr. Jaime T. Licauco, not a psychic, but a writer (you can know more about him re - your question on these, just type his name and enter in yahoo search or search.com, you can buy his books) but I do not believe in these books, because they are finite and limited, they could not penetrate the LEVEL of LUIS, these violet and white lights from GOD. I am a devout Catholic and believe only in the GOOD; I know evil everywhere, and this is LUIS' job to fight evil by these lights. Damn Data - You say they have imparted prophesies - what form do they take? How many have come true? Any major outstanding ones that we could keep an eye out for?
107

Judge Floro - IMPECCABLE PROPHECIES: First, VISION -- meaning not prediction, but ---the highest: On Jan. 9,1999, 6:00 a.m. feast of our Philippine Black Nazarene (Jesus Christ carring the Cross, Catholic Version of like Guadalupe,etc.), I saw 3 visions that have now happened: a) the several world apparitions of the Virgin Mary, Mother of God/Christ b) the Millennium, global greatest EARTHQUAKES and natural disasters, tsunamis,etc. UNPRECEDENTED from 1999-2010, more or less, as punishment for evil, as foretold also on 1918 in FATIMA, Portugal to 3 children c) Philippine V.P., now President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo would be badly hurt and later on physically, no time frame I specifically have the following gifts: krus sa dila (cross of the tongue) pangil ng kidlat (lightning teeth), my eyes emit fires, spiritual, and my hands (golden yellow) emit extreme heat that heals the poorest of the poor (with heatprocessed coconut oil). I was given the gift of healing on June 3, 1999 one month before my July 20, 1999 suspension; and I healed many poor people, about 5,000 since 1999. The prophecy was given to me as gift, circa 1987, not at its peak, but yet to be enhanced. Luis told me that the P.I. Judiciary would mourn many times. It did in the death of Justice Sabino De LEON and as I wrote you, the wife of S.C. Justice Reynato Puno. Atty. Luz Puno passed away, 6 days after it was decided I would be relieved of my duties, on April 12, 2006. I predicted many other events in the Philippines, about 800. Second, my prophecies are spontaneous, except the inflicting of illnesses. I was tasked to seal the 15 doors of our S.C. Justice since 2000 (with 4 spiritual nails) that would be the source of illnesses upon receipt of bribes.
108

Every first Friday of the month since 2000 until this date, at 12 noon and 3:00 p.m., I would go to places - powerful places - here to inflict illnesses upon those that receive bribe money in the judiciary and to those that have fixed my case and prolonged my suspension and the investigation to a 6 3/4 years delay. I received the gift of EXORCISM, last February and in 2002 I was gifted with BILOCATION. Lastly, April (Good Friday) 1998, when I predicted there would be the downfall of Erap, our President who did fall on Jan. 2001. Damn Data - Do you have any powers yourself or is it all the work of Luis? Judge Floro - All of us are psychics to a degree but very few can bend spoons. 99% of what I am as gifted is from LUIS, without him and Armand, Angel, I am nothing. It is very rare that people would they be endowed with the gift to see these spiritual WHITE LIGHTS and VIOLET lights. I would rather be remembered as the HEALING JUDGE RATHER than the Psychic Judge. I am renting a house and am poor, the poorest judge in the Philippines. You know, LUIS wanted me this poor, yet he gives me what I want, as I need. What is destined for me is up to LUIS to decide. I suffered because that is what he and God wanted. I was called to be a priest but I asked for time and I wanted just to be a Judge. I opine that since birth, I am brilliant, always with honors. I graduated ATENEO, JESUITS, full second honors, and placed 12th 87.55% 1983 Philippine Bar exams for lawyers, but my gifted hand did all these discoveries of what would be asked. So, in sum, I am also a Pyschic of my own, but LUIS is inseparable from me.

109

Damn Data - You say they have only revealed themselves to your brother Robert? Why is this and how does he describe them? Judge Floro - Oh. Robert had first seen LUIS and others on June 3, 1983 when my father died. My mother died in 1995. They were destined to be their lifetime guardian angels, from the time of my father's death. Robert was able to see them as is, with all the colours, he was able to go down to their castles, where only gold, diamonds etc. are ... but ... just their lights, if these would flash a longer than a thousand of a second, I would be blinded. They could not show themselves to those who are not pure of heart, they only reveal themselves to the little children (chrismasses) [sic - Hyde] and ... what you read and see of them as pictures, like leprechauns, gnomes etc.. They are not kings, but ordinary ones; you see, if they reach the rank of kings, they would not be just visible. In Ireland - a Catholic country - they can see dwarfs, but only the ordinary kind. LUIS IS THE KING OF ALL KINGS OF THESE ... my brother Robert described them as small, but have bonitos, or bonnets or hats as reverence to God. LUIS' clothes are often violet but they also wear other colours. Armand appeared in a vision to me in the form of human MOST HANDSOME and loveable child of say 7 years of age, while LUIS, appeared as a King with violet hat, sitting on a stone. I asked him, Who are you? he said, LUIS. I asked him, Why only now? (about 2002) he said, Because you are afraid. Meaning therefore, that if I would see his lights and self for so long, then I would die... time has not yet come...
110

Damn Data - Are these entities known from Filipino folklore or are they purely part of the Christian pantheon of saints and angels or a mix of both? Judge Floro - The Filipino people - in culture and folklore - believe in them. We Catholics partly believe in them, not all though but my point is this: the LEVEL or DIMENSION of LUIS is impenetrable by any psychic, because he's of the highest: this is one of the deepest secret of the universe. Were too backward: PSI, psychic phenomena, spiritualism, quantum physics etc.. Weve not discovered their twin lights, violet and white, the most powerful nonmatter in the universe. Damn Data - As of April 7th, 2006 you have been relieved of your duties by the Philippine Supreme Court (for reasons of psychosis), for a unique reason why did your detractors do this (was it for inflicting illnesses on others or predicting the onset of illness?) Judge Floro - May I quote my letter? The reason I was suspended is vengeance by Atty. Sison, due to the fact that I predicted her massive stroke. On April 7, 2006, the Philippine Supreme Court RELIEVED (note - it did not dismiss) me from judicial service and paid me 3 years backwages by reason of PSYCHOSIS. A medical incapacity they said because I allegedly believed in dwarves, the angel of death, that I was inflicting sicknesses, psychic phenomena and (had in writing) predicted the downfall of 13th Philippine President Joseph Estrada (on December, 1998) who was ousted by people power on January 20, 2001. You can read the Philippine Supreme Court Decision penned by M. Justice Minita Viray-Chico Nazario, 75 pages, March 31, 2006 in: A.M. No. RTJ-99-1460. This is the FIRST time in world judicial history that this happened.
111

The American and other Constitutions provide for dismissal or removal of judges, jurists and magistrates because of graft, corruption, misconduct, or bad behaviour but resignation - only for those medically incapacitated. In the Philippines, this is a FIRST - for since 1901, the Philippine Supreme Court has never dismissed or removed a judge because of their belief in the paranormal, religion or PSI. Hence, REUTERS, AFP, AP, ASIAN REPORTER, MSNBC, MY WAY News, NEW24.com, ABC NEWS ONLINE, GULF TIMES, 7DAYS, AE, BUZZSPREE.COM, FOREING BLOGGERS, THE DAILY JUDGE and a total of 70+ foreign REPORTS, NEWS, HEADLINES, BLOGS and 14 Philippine News Headlines, covered - REPORTED the said LANDMARK DECISION. On April 12, 2006, or 6 days later, the Philippines was shocked by the painful DEATH of Lawyer Atty. Luzviminda D. Puno (former clerk of court of the Supreme Court and wife of Senior Justice Reynato S. Puno) who passed away at the St. Lukes Medical Hospital in Quezon City, due to complications from a heart surgery. She was 65. TRUTH: I never used the word DWARVES in any DECISION and I never consulted any imaginary dwarf to pen my decisions. My detractors submitted these false evidence or lies and what I do believe in is this: In the so-called (my) SPIRIT GUIDES or PROTECTORS. LUIS is the KING OF ALL KINGS of ELEMENTALS/spirits worldwide and he is GODs ANGEL (Genesis, Exodus, etc.) What I also believe in is what St. Paul teaches. Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Prophecy and Spiritual Healing. I am GIFTED, and I never tried to develop my psychic powers since what I believe in, is Gods GIFT to me of these - TO HEAL and TO PROPHESY. I am not psychotic and if you read theDECISION, it RULED that I can apply in other government positions that do not require dispensation of justice.I am a victim of INJUSTICE.

"These lightning teeth mysteriously appear at the base of the tree where lightning has struck." Juan Ponce's house, in the mountain village of San Antonio -- point zero for sorcery in the Philippines, certainly had the allure of a sorcerer's residence. Set up on a hill away from the road, his wooden house, overgrown garden and outhouse emitted a vaguely uneasy feeling in otherwise sunny Siquijor Island [...]Ponce is one of some 50 mananambal, or traditional healers, who live on Siquijor, a 343 square kilometer island 45 minutes by ferry from the Negros Oriental city of Dumaguete, in the center of the Philippines.

"More than a hundred" herbs marinated in coconut oil in a giant Johnnie Walker bottle. This was haplas, a healing ointment."These are sumpa," Tata explained. Sumpa is literally an antidote, a combination of acrid, sweet and earthy-smelling herbs which are mixed with lightning teeth and placed inside blue and gold wooden amulets. http://www.mysiquijor.com/articles/5.html Comment (1)59

Judge Floro & the mystic dwarfs - an update

Friday, August 18. 2006 You may remember that we have previously discussed and even interviewed the 'psychic Judge' Judge Florentino Floro on Damn Data. He explained how he came to have his 'powers' and explained about how he first received his spirit guides, namely 'Luis, King of the Elementals'. Over on the BBC, it transpires that Judge Floro has lost his three-year appeal against the Phillipine Supreme Court in order to keep his position. I don't think this will be the last we hear of him though!

Sam Chambers & Judge Floro at the Hobbit Bar, Mabini, Malate, Manila, Philippines Creature features of the Philippines
Saturday, September 02, 2006 Judge Floro Florentino is not too pleased with his three spiritual guides being referred to as dwarves or duende, as superstitious Filipinos call these elf-like beings. His brother, who first saw them, called them duende, a Spanish word of ambiguous definition. To Filipinos, they are something like tiny magical goblins who live in forested areas. There are, according to folklore, two types: black, denoting evil which can harm, and red, who are good and can heal. On the island of Mindoro, the Mangyan tribe claim to trade with the few remaining duende for forest products. They are said to be extremely shy because of the violence that has been done to them in the past. Then there are the nocturnal Agta, tall black men who also hang out in the forests, while the Batibat, found in Ilocos, look like fat women who live inside posts, and suffocate people by sitting on top of them. The bovine-like Mantahungal have fearsome teeth, the Pugot are self-beheading multi-formed creatures, and the Tikbalang are centaurs in reverse. These and many more magical creatures - some invisible, some half-human, half- animal - are all said to inhabit the Philippine countryside. 60 Sam Chambers is a free lance journalist from Kent, United Kingdom, and is based in Hongkong.

Florentino and the three dwarves

Saturday, September 02, 2006 A Filipino judge who was dismissed from the bench because of his ongoing relationship with invisible mystics meets with Sam Chambers to explain his side of the story. The Philippine judiciary has oft been the butt of a joke but never before has one of its members caused so much mirth as Judge Floro Florentino and his three invisible dwarves. Judge Florentino and the dwarves - Luis, Armand and Angel - might sound like a good name for a band but they are in fact the main characters in a surreal tale from a nation famous for its superstitions. Last month, the trial judge lost his final appeal to keep his job, with the Supreme Court's 72-page ruling stating that Florentino's "dalliance" with Luis, Armand and Angel showed he had a "medically disabling condition.

116

Judge Floros mind rendered him "unfit to discharge the functions of his office" which in turn could "erode the public's esteem of the judiciary" and make it an "object of ridicule. Florentino and I arrange to meet at what seems the most apt of places to discuss such matters - the Hobbit Bar on Mabene St in the Manila district of Malate. Charitably offering employment for the vertically challenged, it has been a tourist attraction for more than 10 years. Florentino's three sidekicks, or "spiritual guides" as he prefers them to be called, take many different forms. Luis is the "king of kings" or "God's angel," while Armand is a beautiful boy who, like Luis, has wings. Angel is their sister. Florentino has only seen Luis once on a rock in the middle of the Philippine archipelago. Luis communicates and uses his powers via violet and white lights. Florentino peers over the bar and orders a bottle of Australian Shiraz but shows no sign of recognition - it seems that Luis, Armand and Angel are not among the diminutive presences to serve us. Moments later a pudgy hand holding a 2003 vintage appears out of nowhere; two glasses follow, as if by levitation, from beneath the bar. Looking 10 years younger than his 53 years, Florentino comes across as remarkably lucid. For sure he rambles in a high-pitched tone, often going off on tangents, yet the psychosis the Supreme Court claims he has is not immediately apparent. Fame, or infamy, clearly is something this otherwise shy man seems to enjoy. He comes to the interview armed with 300 pages of clippings and court appeals. He says, with no small relish, that he and his three cohorts have appeared in more than 66 media titles and 1,000 blogs. One such blogger described Florentino as a Filipino X-Man for his efforts to rid the country's judiciary of corruption.

117

In 1995 a Supreme Court commission found that more than 50 percent of judges received bribes, something Florentino has been determined to wipe out. His area of jurisdiction in Manila was Malabon, a coveted location in which to work, he says, because within a month a judge could become a millionaire, the starting price for any judicial decision being 50,000 pesos (HK$7,640). "Court starts at 11am; at 11.05am (the judges) go for golf," he quips. He shows even less mercy in his judgment of the Court of Appeals: "They say it is 85 percent corrupt," he muses, "It is 100 percent corrupt." Florentino initially trained to become a priest and was just a young teenager when he joined a seminary in 1965. He transferred to a Jesuit institution a few years later but then left to enter the legal profession. His life changed forever, he says, on June 2, 1983 - the day his father died. It was on that day that Luis, Armand and Angel made themselves known to Robert, Florentino's mentally disabled youngest brother. "My brother, because of his innocence, can see them," he says. Floro Florentino recounts how the dwarves had revealed his healing and psychic powers. At first, he says he was sceptical. An avid gambler - horse racing coupons are mixed in with his press clippings - the dwarves told him to get involved in cockfighting. He bought 13 cockerels, made 21,000 pesos and "suddenly believed them." Since then he claims to have healed many people, explaining that his hands are golden and impart heat to the afflicted. "I am not a faith healer," he says, "I am gifted." Though at times in the conversation he bristles at the term psychic, Florentino rates himself as as the country's number five seer. Number one? Ferdinand Marcos, apparently. Florentino says he predicted Joseph "Erap" Estrada's presidential downfall and prayed that present incumbent Gloria Macapagal Arroyo would survive her endless political battles. Looking ahead, he reckons Arroyo's power will end soon and the nation will suffer as a result.
118

He'll also have you believe he is a bilocator someone who can be seen in two different places at the same time, which he acknowledges is also a trick for which the devil is known. Florentino says such powers do not come without sacrifices and that he has had to remain single or lose his gift of healing: "That's in the Book of Revelations," he adds. He glances over his shoulder at a child laughing nearby. "You know it's painful for me not to have a kid. That's why I am the Filipino martyr." Florentino was appointed on November 5, 1998, as the country's youngest judge. It was not the first time he'd tried to become one. Three years earlier the state had failed him for psychological reasons but he was allowed an independent, private mental assessment that cleared him. His reign as a judge was as bizarre as it was short. Sessions would start with readings from the Book of Revelations; on Fridays he would change from blue robes to black to recharge his powers, and in between hearings he'd provide healing sessions, even for other judges, as well as consulting his trio of "advisers." Such unorthodoxy brought a swift end to his career and he was suspended in July 1999. So began his seven-year battle to be reinstated, with more than 100 motions tabled, finally ending with the Supreme Court decision. He was paid 1.1 million pesos in back pay, over half of which has already been used to pay debts. He lists the names of senior judges who have in the past come to him for healing and says these are the same people who turned on him for political reasons, using his paranormal "gifts" as the excuse to get rid of him. "This is a first in our judicial history - the Philippines Supreme Court has never dismissed or removed a judge because of their belief in the paranormal or religion.Other country's constitutions provide for dismissal or removal of judges, jurists and magistrates because of graft, corruption or misconduct," he insists.
119

However, Florentino admits to having a darker mission, avenging those who corrupt the legal system. This has led him to be dubbed an angel of death, a description he does not dispute. At this point I am reminded of the fact that to be a dwarf in the Philippines, or duende as they are known, is not to possess the lovable qualities often attributed to them in fairytales. Rather they are regarded as figures full of malice and violent intent. Eight judges who Florentino has deemed corrupt have all been struck with serious illnesses, three of them dying. He has, he confesses, been psychically "inflicting illnesses" upon his tormentors, even going so far as to ensure one of them gave birth to a child with epilepsy. "Armand, Luis and Angel's role is a neverending fight against `black' or evil; a spiritual battle the angels versus Lucifer. Right now Satan is winning, God is losing. All our leaders have 666 on their heads from the president down, the Supreme Court, everywhere," he says in his mild, yet animated, manner. "My mission is healing the wounds of the judiciary." His more immediate goal is to appeal the Supreme Court decision as early as next week. He intends to file a disbarment case against Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jnr for delaying his case for so long. "I am asking for a job. I am asking for justice," says the spiritual crusader. Is this just a tall tale of short people? Or is that Luis reaching up to take my credit card? Filipino judges, you have been warned.62

LUIS, Armand and Angel are not constricted by time and space. They wield the power using their lights from their dwarf hats to allow Judge Floro to travel in time, past, present and into the distant future. Stephen Hawking backs possibility for humans to travel millions of years into the future By Scott Warren Last updated at 8:59 AM on 4th May 2010 Stephen Hawking has claimed that humans might one day be able to use time travel to skip generations into the future. The famous astrophysicist, speaking in a new documentary, said spaceships could one day be capable of such high speeds that time slowed down for those on board. He admitted he had avoided talking about time travel previously ' for fear of being labelled a crank', saying the subject had once been 'scientific heresy'. 'These days I'm not so cautious,' he said. Theoretically, such a space ship would allow the crew to repopulate the earth if they found our species had become extinct during their flight. Stephen Hawking's Universe, in which he makes the comments, will be screened on Discovery next Sunday. In another part of the series he says alien life is likely to exist but that humans should avoid making contact. Hawking said a spaceship capable of travelling through time - but only forwards - would breach Albert Einstein's theories of relativity. Having taken six years to reach its full speed of 98 per cent of the speed of light (650million miles per hour), a day on board the ship would be equivalent to a year on Earth, he said, allowing those on board to reach the edge of the galaxy in just 80 years.

121

But the ship required for the journey would have to be massive to allow for the required fuel. He dismissed the idea of travelling backwards through time, saying doing so would violate a fundamental rule that cause comes before effect and that such an act could allow people to make themselves impossible, such as if a person travelled back in time and shot thir former self. While backing Hawking's theories, Brian Cox, a Manchester University professor and the presenter of BBC's Wonders of the Solar System, admitted there were significant impediments to realising them.'We can already see how time slows down for objects travelling at high speed by looking at what happens in paricle accelerators,' he told The Times. 'When we accelerate tiny particles to 99.99 per cent of the sped of light in the Large Hadron Collider at Cern in Geneva, the time they experience passes at one-seventhousandth of the rate it does for us. 'If we could build a spaceship that was fast enough, then it could reach other stars in the lifetime of the crew, but maybe 2.5million years would have passed by on earth.'63 Canadian expert refutes Hawking's theory of alien invasion Accusing world famous astrophysicist Stephen Hawking of spreading misinformation about threats from aliens, former Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer claimed that extraterrestrials have actually been visiting earth for decades.

Rather than harm mankind, he said, their (aliens) spaceships have provided information for triggering todays microchip and IT revolution on the planet. Hellyer told the Canadian Press that the reality is that they (aliens) have been visiting earth for decades and probably millennia and have contributed considerably to our knowledge. He said our computer screens have their origins in alien spaceships. Microchips, for example, fiberoptics, they are just two of the many things that allegedly - and probably for real - came from crashed vehicles, the Canadian said. Blaming Hawking for scaring mankind about aliens, he said, He (Hawking) is indulging in some pretty scary talk there that I would have hoped would not come from someone with such an established stature. I think it is really sad that a scientist of his repute would contribute to what I would consider more misinformation about a vast and very important subject. On May 2, 2010 former Canadian Minister of Defence Paul Hellyer, who is is the longest serving current member of the Privy Council, just ahead of Prince Philip, publicly defended extraterrestrial civilizations: The reality is that they've (extraterrestrials) been visiting Earth for decades and probably millennia and have contributed considerably to our knowledge. Microchips, for example, fiber-optics, they are just two of the many things that allegedly and probably for real came from crashed vehicles," Defense Minister Hellyer said. There are many credentialed witnesses to friendly Off Planet Cultures.

For example, Examiner.com has also identified two whistle blower eyewitnesses to extraterrestrial civilizations from U.S. government secret programs, including former U.S. Department of Defense scientist Arthur Neumann, and former DARPA Project Pegasus participant and attorney Andrew D. Basiago. Mr. Neumann and Mr. Basiago have independently testified they have met with representatives of a friendly, advanced humanoid Martian civilization.64 The Mysterious Little People Of Japan A commonly occurring phenomenon seen in the folklore and myth of a wide range of cultures throughout the world is the existence of miniature humanoid creatures. Faeries, dwarves, leprechauns, or by whatever other names they are known, mysterious little people of various types have consistently emerged as important elements of folklore across the globe since time unremembered. On the island of Hokkaido, in the cold northern reaches of the Japanese archipelago, the indigenous Ainu people too have their long traditions of an ancient race of dwarf-like people thought to have inhabited the land long before humans arrived.

The Mystic Dwarves of Florentino Floro Jr.

In the Philippines Judge Florentino Floro Jr has been dismissed from the bench for using the advice of his three dwarf friends Armand, Luis and Angel, to decide cases. According to Judge Floro, the mystic dwarves, or dwendes, communicate with him using psychic powers.

This sad tale illustrates how, even in these supposedly enlightened and tolerant times, the ugly prejudice of heightism continues to ruin lives. Xxx There is much to reflect on in your statements, Judge. In the near future I will be adding your webpage to my sidebar, and I will attempt to use my high level contacts to get the word out about the travesty of justice which has been perpetrated. Sadly, it usually is about vengeance. Posted by C. Van Carter at 9:13 PM Wednesday, August 16, 200666

Mind-boggling dismissal
THE case of dismissed regional trial court Judge Florentino Floro Jr. is really one oddity which may yet found a space in the Guinness World of Records. The judge's claim that he is a psychic and could foresee the future, let alone his declaration that he was being helped by his three dwarf-friends while in a trance in writing his decisions, is considered as "psychosis" by the Supreme Court. Such singular incident was taken notice by the believers of occult throughout the world and merited attention from no less than prestigious TV international programs like "Showbiz Tonight" and NBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann. Of course the High Tribunal did not declare the judge "insane" per se but suffering from psychosis.

127

An honor student during his college days and a 12th placer in the 1983 Bar Examinations, the sacked magistrate is now enjoying his international fame and believes he has attained "immortality" together with his friends from the "elemental" realm. But as A. J. Hammer of CNN's "Showbiz Tonight" asked why it took three long years for the highest court to decide, nobody has given a definite answer; it's mind-boggling. In the world of esoteric or occultism which cannot be found in any legal perspectives like the positivist's theory as mentioned by the high court associate justice, yet there are believers and practitioners of "supernatural powers" like paranormal psychology or the idea of bi-location where one could be seen in two different places at the same time. Mysticism does not sit well with any known and acepted sciences and more so on legal sciences which depend in most cases on empiricism. And yet in many instances we are inclined to believe what Nostradamus wrote several centuries ago about his predictions on world major events like wars and assassinations of leading personalities.If psychic phenomena have no place in the judicial plateau, then how would we explain the "a priori" of Immanuel Kant, who called his theory as "transcendental philosophy"? How about those "spirit hunters" of those whose departure from life was consequent on horrible disasters? While the former judge finds some kind of happiness of being "immortalized" in TV and print media all over the world, there could be answers in the near future the role of paranormal psychology in our lives. How could we explain extra-sensory perceptions in layman's language and relate to the functions of the law? At present, we adhere faithfully to the verifiability principle in contrast to subjectivism?

128

This is not a brief for the ousted judge but the issues involved vis--vis his claim of being possessed of "psychic powers" must be inquired into thoroughly by those engaged in the same level of phenomenon. Psychosis is a broad concept about one's mental processes and actuations, but in the inquiry conducted on the judge did not disclose any decision he has rendered marked with psychotic inclination or one with bizarre exposition of his thoughts. With the unusual reaction of the occult believers all over the world, those engaged in neurosciences could very well take the case of the said judge for further studies, if only to show that friendly elementals do exist as well as the thoughts coming out in a trance. We have to flesh out any substance which may empirically suggests the "psychotic mind" and distinguish it from a deranged mental process. In reality, in total darkness the ears become subsidiary which enables us to know or hazard a guess. If psychosis had taken hold of the former judge, his reputation of "being abnormal" person may have radically changed. This stigma shall forever his nameplate and his capacity to render legal service may be suspect.67

No happy ending in tale of judge and 3 dwarves

THE HELP OF his dwarf friends Armand, Luis and Angel notwithstanding, former Judge Florentino Floro Jr. failed to convince the Supreme Court not to dismiss him from the judiciary for being incapable (of deciding cases on his own without help from his paranormal allies). The court said psychic phenomena had no place in the judiciary.

In a resolution released yesterday, the 15 justices of the high tribunal threw out three motions for reconsideration filed by the 53-year-old judge asking the court to dismiss the administrative complaint filed against him and to return him to the bench. The decision penned by Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario denied with finality Floros motions for lack of merit. It said it would no longer entertain further motions from the former Malabon judge. We reiterate that judges are expected to be guided by the rule of law and to resolve cases before them with judicial detachment, the court said.

Object of ridicule
The court said its decision had nothing to do with Floros belief in dwarves or the validity of such a belief, but on the need to protect the integrity of the judiciary as a rational guardian of the law. The psychological finding of mental unfitness (made not only by the psychiatrists of the Supreme Court clinic but by Judge Floros own doctors during the hearing of his cases), when taken together with Judge Floros claimed dalliance with dwendes, poses a serious challenge to such required judicial detachment and impartiality and would eventually erode the publics acceptance of the judiciary as the rational guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule, the court said. In fine, Judge Floro himself has confirmed that he is incapable of discharging the duties of a judge free from extrajudicial influences and that he falls short of the fundamental requirements of competence and objectivity expected of all judges, the court said.
130

On March 31, the court dismissed Floro after finding him to be suffering from a mental disabling condition that made it impossible for him to discharge his judicial functions. In that decision also penned by Nazario, Floro was found guilty of seven of the 13 administrative charges lodged against him by the Office of the Court Administrator.

Seeing the future

Among other things, Floro admitted believing inpsychic visions to see the future because of his power in psychic phenomenon. He also confessed that he had made a covenant with his dwarf friends, that he could write while in a trance and that he had been seen by several people in two places at the same time. Psychic phenomena, even assuming such exist, have no place in a judiciary duty bound to apply only positive law and, in its absence, equitable rules and principles in resolving controversies, the court said in an en banc decision. In his motion for reconsideration, Floro had taunted the court, saying its decision had made him and his imaginary friends immortal.From obscurity, my name ... and the three mystic dwarfs became immortal -not only in this country, not solely in international broadcasts (CNN, MSN-NBC) or in almost all print media worldwide, but first and foremost, in the indelible memory of world judicial history, he said in a letter to the court.

131

Floro also said news of his dismissal appeared in forum discussions in more than 1,000 blogs and elicited 10,000 replies all over the world, with believers of the occult and those who claim to see spirits and dwarves siding with him.68

Psychic Judge and The Bite of the Serpent dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life
In the earliest of the times, we recall Gen. 3:14 - And the LORD God said unto the serpent: Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. Also, but later, If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer's tongue. Ecclesiastes 10:11 Today, we are enchanted by the tale - Harry Potter and the Bite of the Serpent (by Kriptonite) "Despite the feeling of safety, Harry had grown to trust no one and he thrusted the gun in the womans direction.Who are you?' he demanded seriously. The woman held up a shaking hand and stepped out of the shadows revealing her soft brown eyes glowing beneath the shadows of her soaked hood, rain dripping down in front of her face."

Judge asks SC to let Nazario take oath and fill SC vacancy A LOWER court judge suspended by the Supreme Court (SC) has asked the high court to allow Sandiganbayan anti-graft court magistrate Minita V. Chico-Nazario to take her oath of office to fill the vacancy in the SC. In a 22-page petition, Judge Florentino V. Floro Jr., who has been suspended as a Malabon regional trial court (RTC) magistrate, also asked the court to exclude Solicitor General Alfredo Benipayo from the list of nominees for the position. "Benipayo lacks integrity, is so corrupt, has no moral fitness, is medically/mentally/psychologically unfit, lacks leadership and cannot restore public trust in the judiciary," a portion of the suit filed Thursday by Floro said. The judge pointed out that under the charter, any SC vacancy shall be filed within ninety days two months immediately before the next presidential elections. The controversy over Nazario, Floro said, "transcends the person of Nazario (and) affects some of our most deeply held values in democracy--the protection of political and judicial rights, the disapprobation of political loyalty in our temples of justice and elimination of all invidious discrimination in the JBC nomination process." Floro has been preventively suspended by the SC for more than four and a half years for gross ignorance of the law, rules and canons. - Friday, March 12, 2004, By Benjamin B. Pulta75

Atty. Ma. Isabel Providencia Bibing Timbangkaya Solis drafted and finalized the cursed Psychosis 75 pages decision
As private secretary of Justice Nazario, Bibing worked with her at the Sandiganbayan since she was law student. In 1992-3, Judge Floro met his father-in-law Malolos, Bulacan, RTC Judge Cesar Solis (her neighbour at Capitol Estates, near Ever Gotesco), whos wife died of cancer. Her mother, Atty. Victoria Timbangkaya (No. 6 placer in the Bar Exams) had known Judge Floro through their neighbour, Justice Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr.76 Hermosisima, Jr. is a 4-termer JBC Member and Lay Minister of his Parish. Judge Floro hired his co-counsel of record, Senator Rene A.V. Saguisag77, about March, 2003. Atty. Vicky Timbangkaya is a senior partner of Atty. Saguisag (Saguisag, Carao and Associates Law) and Judge Floro communicated with her almost weekly if not daily through telephone, regarding the 7 years suspension case. Judge Floro begged all of them to submit the truth to the Court, or help Judge Floro get a job, work or trabajo, lest the cursed decision be a dire OMEN to the loved ones of the Philippine judiciarys most powerful lawyers and magistrates. On March, 2004, Atty. Bibing Solis gave Judge Floro certified copies of Justice Nazarios pre-trial Orders (which became the ANNEX A, of the SC Petition) days before the filing of the March 12, 2004 Mandamus case to enthrone Justice Nazario. At the Sandiganbayan, Atty. Bibing Solis relayed to Judge Floro the covenant: upon her appointment by the President, Justice Nazario would fight for Judge Floro until the end.

Asked by reporters about his wife's appointment, which President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo appears to have withdrawn, Rod Nazario said: "Well, of course she feels bad about it, although I believe she's also happy with the Sandiganbayan [post]. But of course, any lawyer's dream is to be in the Supreme Court. That's all I can say. Honestly, of course she's feeling bad." Nazario, business manager of former International Boxing Federation superbantamweight and now featherweight champion Manny Pacquiao, was in Malacaang for the turnover and presentation of the ring championship belt. In an exclusive interview with InqTV, Justice Nazario said she shared every lawyer's dream of making it to the Supreme Court, but respected the President's prerogative to make her own choices."Everyone in the judiciary, any lawyer, that is their ultimate ambition, to reach the highest post in the judiciary," she said in Filipino."But you know, she is the President. She has the discretion, the privilege, to choose kung sino ang gusto niyang ilagay sa matataas na puwesto (who she will appoint to high positions).

"In the two-part interview aired Monday and Tuesday, "Gayunpaman, nasa Panginoon na ang lahat na iyan (Whatever happens, it's up to the Lord). If He wants to put me there, nobody can stop Him. If he thinks I should stay here, that's okay with me too. He has given me so much already."

Erik Morales, S.C. Justice Carpio-Morales Rod Nazario, Manny Pacquiao The Parallel Omen II Justice Minita Viray ChicoNazario got the Cursed Rollo from Justice Morales:
An omen (also called portent or presage) is a phenomenon that is believed to foretell the future, often signifying the advent of change. Interpretation of omens and prophetic signs is a form of divination. Ancient Roman religion employed two distinct types of professional omen readers. Augurs interpreted the flights of birds, while haruspices employed animal sacrifice to obtain the entrails necessary for divination82.

The Creeping Curse of Unloading

Rod Nazario (husband of Justice Nazario). You love him and you hate him. You love and thank him for steering Pacquiaos career from rags to riches. But you might hate him if he was really part of the Murad Muhammad show. The irony of it all is that while the IBF title became Pacquiaos first step to the limelight of big time boxing, it has also turned out to become the beginning of the end of the Nazario-Pacquiao partnership, with the loss to Morales as a reflection of the sad ending.

With Muhammad turning out to be the kontra bida to this drama, people are now asking what role Nazario played. Or did he have a role in all this? Is he now kontra bida # 2? It is now being divulged that Nazario may have conspired with Muhammad in denying Pacquiao the rightful money that the Pacman shouldve received from all his fights in the U.S. For the record, Pacquiao didnt file any case against Nazario. Pacquiao had said in the TV interview that hes doing this out of utang na loob. That may be a big Whew on Nazarios part, but it wont automatically take away doubts about his involvement since he was a partner of Muhammad in all of Pacquiaos U.S. fights. On the media front through TV and the local sports pages, Pacquiaos lawyers have already beaten Nazario to the punch, claiming that Nazario was essentially part of all deals that Muhammad authored. The out-of-court settlement of the Pacquiao-Muhammad case doesnt help Nazarios cause as its a virtual admission that the MuhammadNazario partnership was indeed doing something wrong. Nazario now finds himself in Hello Garci position, albeit on a smaller scale. The finding is out of the bag and the evidence presented is all legal and public. No wiretaps here. Like GMA, Nazario is probably having sleepless nights even if there is no threat of a court case being made against him. If he comes out in the open, hell have to refute all the evidence that was presented in the U.S. against Muhammad. But Muhammads settling the case before it could go to the jury is already perceived as an admission of a fault, or maybe a simple lapse of judgment?

Burstein blasts Nazario!

Indeed, even Murads lawyer, in his summation, essentially admitted that Rod Nazario had cheated Manny, said Burstein. American lawyer Judd Burstein recently blasted controversial business manager Rod Nazario for the latters alleged unfitting handling of the career of Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao. At a minimum, Rod Nazario should be banned from boxing in the Philippines. I do not know if criminal prosecution is available, but that would, in my opinion, also be appropriate. disclosed Burstein with this writer. Burstein was the lead lawyer of Pacquiao during the latters recent triumph against American promoter Murad Muhammad in a Southern District Court in New York. Pacquiao and Murad recently entered into an outof-court settlement that effectively ended the litigation of the $33-million suit which the General Santos City boxing marvel filed against his estranged promoter last April 28. The jury trial started on June 20 presided by Judge Loretta Preska and was touted as a landmark case for the celebrated Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Law. The settlement makes the 26-year-old Pacquiao free from any promotional obligation from Muhammad. In his lawsuit, Pacquiao claimed that Muhammad arranged with Nazario to create a shell company named Philippine Boxing LLC that was used to purportedly embezzle a great part of the boxers fight purse in the United States. The alleged shell company caper left Pacquiao accountable to the Internal Revenue Service hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax obligations.83

Last February, Malacaang announced her appointment to the Supreme Court, Sandiganbayan Justice Minita Chico-Nazario went to see Chief Justice Hilario Davide to take her oath as a Supreme Court justice. But she was told by Davide that Malacaang had not forwarded her appointment papers to the high tribunal. She also had nothing to show to Davide. It turned out that Malacaang recalled her appointment. She took off where she left off, went back to Sandiganbayan and did her job the best way she knew how. She did not stop believing that someday soon, she would join the high tribunal today, Nazario finally gets her ultimate dream. She will take her oath of office as the 15th SC justice at 3 p.m. in Malacaang today, according to Sandiganban Sheriff, Bocar.85

Pilipino Sumpa, Righteous Curse

A curse87 or Biblical imprecation is the effective action of some power, distinguished solely by the quality of adversity that it brings. A curse may also be said to result from a spell or prayer, imprecation or execration, or other imposition by magic or witchcraft, asking that a god, natural force, or spirit bring misfortune to someone. The forms of curses found in various cultures comprise a significant proportion of the study of both folk religion and folklore.

Wikipedia, Curse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse

147

Greek and Roman curses were somewhat formal and official. Called katadesmoi by the Greeks and tabulae defixiones by the Romans, they were written on lead tablets or other materials, generally invoked the aid of a spirit (a deity, a demon, or one of the dead) to accomplish their aim, and were placed in some place considered effective for their activation, such as in a tomb, cemetery, or sacred spring or well. In the Celtic world there were also many different forms of curses. Some of the most well known from Ireland are Curse stones, Egg curses, New Year curses and Milk curses.

Curses in the Bible

The first curse in the Bible is put on the serpent by God, "You are cursed more than all cattle," (Genesis 3:14). As a result of Adam and Eve disobeying God, the ground is also cursed: "Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life." (3:17). Cain is cursed from the earth, "So now you are cursed from the earth," (4:11). In the New Testament Paul sees curses as central to the meaning of Jesus's crucifixion. In Galatians 3:13 he says: "Christ redeems us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us... ." He refers to Deuteronomy: anyone who is hung on a tree is under God's curse." (21:23 RAEDM) Some passages in the Tanakh treat curses as being effective techniques; they see a curse as an objective reality with real power. However, most sections of the Bible conceive a curse to be merely a wish, to be fulfilled by God only when just and deserved. According to the Book of Proverbs, an undeserved curse has no effect (Proverbs 26:2), but may fall back upon the head of him who utters it (Genesis 12:3; Sirach 21:27), or may be turned by God into a blessing, as in the case of Balaam (Deuteronomy 23:5).
148

The declaration of punishments (Gen. 3:14, 17; 4:11), the utterance of threats (Jeremiah 11:3, 17:5; Malachi i. 14), and the proclamation of laws (Deut. 11:26-28, 27:15 et seq.) received added solemnity and force when conditioned by a curse. In the Bible, cursing is generally characteristic of the godless (Ps. 10:7), but may serve as a weapon in the mouth of the wronged, the oppressed, and those who are zealous for God and righteousness (Judges 9:57; Prov. 11:26, 30:10). A righteous curse, especially when uttered by persons in authority, was believed to be unfailing in its effect (Gen. 9:25, 27:12; II Kings 2:24; Ecclus. Sirach 3:11). One who had received exemplary punishment at the hands of God was frequently held up, in cursing, as a terrifying object-lesson (Jer. 23: 22), and such a person was said to be, or to have become, a curse (II Kings 22:19; Jer. 24:9, 25: 18; Zechariah 8:13). An elaborate trial by ordeal for a woman suspected by her husband of adultery is set forth in Numbers 5:11-30; this involved drinking bitter water that brings a curse"; if the woman were guilty, she would suffer miscarriage and infertility. It is especially forbidden to curse God (Exodus 22:28), parents (Ex. 21:17; Leviticus 20:9; Prov. 20:20, 30: 11), the authorities (Ex. 22:28; Eccl. 10:20), and the helpless deaf (Lev. 19:14). In reciting the curse, Judge Floro, did first forgive all his detractors, enemies and persecutors, and left to the Almighty, the proper redress of his grievances: imprecation. Psalm 10988 (Greek numbering: Psalm 108) is a psalm noted for containing some of the most frighteningly severe curses in the Bible, such as: "Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children." and: "Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out", and so on.

THE CASES The First Case: A.M. No. RTJ-99-1460 (Office of the Court Administrator v. Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr.) It was in 1995 that Atty. Florentino V. Floro, Jr. first applied for judgeship.Judge Floro later voluntarily withdrew his application. In June 1998, when he applied anew, the required psychological evaluation exposed problems with self-esteem, mood swings, confusion, social/interpersonal deficits, paranoid ideations, suspiciousness, and perceptual distortions. Because of his impressive academic background, however, the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) allowed Atty. Floro to seek a second opinion from private practitioners. The second opinion appeared favorable thus paving the way to Atty. Floros appointment as Regional Trial Court (RTC) Judge of Branch 73, Malabon City, on 4 November 1998. Upon Judge Floros personal request, an audit on his sala was conducted by the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA) from 2 to 3 March 1999. After conducting the audit, the audit team, led by Atty. Mary Jane Dacarra-Buenaventura, reported its findings to erstwhile Court Administrator, Alfredo L. Benipayo. Benipayo submitted his own report and memorandum [3] to then Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide, Jr. dated 13 July 1999. It recommended, among other things, that his report be considered as an administrative complaint against Judge Floro and that Judge Floro be subjected to an appropriate psychological or mental examination. Court Administrator Benipayo recommended as well that Judge Floro be placed under preventive suspension for the duration of the investigation against him. DISCUSSION As alleged and as proven, the 13 specified charges do not warrant the supreme penalty of dismissal against Judge Floro.
151

As narrated by the audit team, Judge Floro was circulating calling cards bearing his name as the Presiding Judge of RTC, Branch 73, Malabon City, and indicating therein that he is a bar exams topnotcher (87.55%) and with full second honors from the Ateneo de Manila University, A.B. and LL.B. The audit team likewise reported that: (b)efore the start of court session, Judge Floro is introduced as a private law practitioner, a graduate of Ateneo de Manila University with second honors, and a bar topnotcher during the 1983 Bar Examinations with an average score of 87.55%. Afterwards, a reading of the Holy Bible, particularly the Book of Revelation according to Saint John, was made. Judge Floro must be relieved of his position as Judge of RTC Malabon Branch due to a medically disabling condition of the mind that renders him unfit to discharge the functions of his office. Judge Floro submitted earlier psychological evaluations conducted by several mental health professionals which were all favorable to him. The report dated 04 September 1998 by staff psychologist, Rowena A. Reyes as noted by clinical Psychologist, Ma. Teresa Gustilo-Villasor of the Metropolitan Psychological Corporation (MPC), states in part: I. INTELLECTUAL/COGNITIVE CHARACTERISTICS SUMMARY OF INTELLECTUAL CHARACTERISTICS / COGNITIVE

1. FFJ can draw from above average intellectual resources to cope with everyday demands. He is able to handle both concrete and abstract requirements of tasks. Alert to details, he has a logical approach in evaluating the relationship between things and ideas.

152

2. He thrives in predictable and structured situations, where he can consider solid facts to arrived (sic)at concrete, tangible outcomes. Task-oriented, he can organize procedures and details so as to get things done correctly and on schedule. He uses conventional standards to determine personal progress. Set in his views, he may not readily accept others ideas and contributions especially if these oppose his own. 3. A serious and thorough approach to his commitments is expected of FFJ. Generally, he prefers to control his emotions and does not let this get in the way of his judgment and decisions. II. EMOTIONAL/INTERPERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS FFJ is motivated by the need to be recognized and respected for his undertakings. Achievement-oriented, he sets high personal standards and tends to judge himself and others according to these standards. When things do not develop along desired lines, he may become restless and impatient. Nevertheless, he is careful of his social stature and can be expected to comply with conventional social demands. Another psychiatrist, Pacita Ramos-Salceda, M.D., Senior Consultant Psychiatrist of the Makati Medical Center, stated in her report dated 3 September 1998 that at the time of the interview Judge Floro [W]as enthusiastic and confident. He is well informed about current issues, able to discuss a wide variety of topics intelligently without hesitation. His thinking is lucid, rational, logical and reality based. He is well oriented, intelligent, emotionally stable, with very good judgment. There is no previous history of any psychological disturbances.
153

This was followed by the evaluation of Eduardo L. Jurilla, M.D., dated September 1998, who stated in his report that Atty. Floro is an aesthetic, medium height, fairly groomed, be-spectacled person with graying hair. When interviewed he was somewhat anxious, elaborative and at times approximate in his answers. He was alert, oriented, conscious, cooperative and articulate in Pilipino and English. He denied any perceptual disturbances. Stream of thought was logical and goal-directed. There was pressure of speech with tendency to be argumentative or defensive but there were no flight of ideas, thought blocking, looseness of associations or neologisms. Delusions were not elicited. Affect was broad and appropriate but mood was anxious. There were no abnormal involuntary movements or tics. Impulse control is good. Cognition is intact. Judgment, insight, and other test for higher cortical functions did not reveal abnormal results. Comments: The over-all results of this psychiatric evaluation of Atty. Florentino V. Floro, Jr. do not contradict his nomination and appointment to the post he is seeking. Based on the foregoing, the OCA, thru Justice Ramirez, reported that: Upon the testimony of his own witnesses, Drs. Eduardo T. Maaba, Ma. Nieves Celeste and Eduardo L. Jurilla, respondent Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. is unfit because of insanity to remain in office as Judge of the Regional Trial Court, National Capital Judicial Region, Malabon, Metro Manila, Branch 73.
154

It is weird for respondent Judge to state in one of his pleadings in this case that President Estrada would not finish his term as President. It is unusual and queer of him to state in his calling card that he is a graduate of Ateneo de Manila, second honors, bar topnotcher with a grade of 87.55% and include in his address the name Colonel Reynaldo Cabauatan who was involved in a coup detat attempt. So is it strange of him to make use of his alleged psychic powers in writing decisions in the cases assigned to his court. It is improper and grandiose of him to express superiority over other judges in the course of hearings he is conducting and for him to say that he is very successful over many other applicants for the position he has been appointed. It is abnormal for a Judge to distribute self-serving propaganda. One who distributes such self-serving propaganda is odd, queer, amusing, irresponsible and abnormal. A judge suffering from delusion or hallucination is unfit to be one. So is he who gets into a trance while presiding at the hearing of a case in court. One need not be a doctor of medicine, a psychiatrist and a psychologist to determine and conclude that a person in such circumstances is mentally unfit or insane and should not be allowed to continue discharging the duties and functions of a judge. The life, liberty and property of the litigants in the court presided by such judge are in his hands. Hence, it is imperative that he is free from doubt as to his mental capacity and condition to continue discharging the functions of his office. RECOMMENDATION - WHEREFORE, it is respectfully recommended that by reason of insanity which renders him incapable and unfit to perform the duties and functions of Judge of the Regional Trial Court, National Capital Judicial Region, Malabon, Metro Manila, Branch 73, respondent Florentino V. Floro, Jr. be REMOVED and DISMISSED from such office.

155

We are in agreement with the OCA that Judge Floro cannot remain as RTC Judge because of the findings of mental impairment that renders him unfit to perform the functions of his office. We hasten to add, however, that neither the OCA nor this Court is qualified to conclude that Judge Floro is insane as, in fact, the psychologists and psychiatrists on his case have never said so. When Justice Pedro A. Ramirez recommended that Judge Floro be dismissed from the service due to insanity, he was apparently using the term in its loose sense. Insanity is a general laymans term, a catchall word referring to various mental disorders. Psychosis is perhaps the appropriate medical term as this is the one used by Drs. Vista and Villegas of the Supreme Court Clinic. There is no indication that Judge Floro is anything but an honorable man. And, in fact, in our disposition of the 13 charges against him, we have not found him guilty of gross misconduct or acts or corruption. However, the findings of psychosis by the mental health professionals assigned to his case indicate gross deficiency in competence and independence. Moreover, Judge Floro himself admitted that he believes in psychic visions, of foreseeing the future because of his power in psychic phenomenon. He believes in duwendes and of a covenant with his dwarf friends Luis, Armand and Angel. He believes that he can write while on trance and that he had been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time. He has likened himself to the angel of death who can inflict pains on people, especially upon those he perceived as corrupt officials of the RTCs of Malabon. He took to wearing blue robes during court sessions, switching only to black on Fridays.

156

His own witness testified that Judge Floro explained that he wore black from head to foot on Fridays to recharge his psychic powers. Finally, Judge Floro conducted healing sessions in his chambers during his break time. All these things validate the findings of the Supreme Court Clinic about Judge Floros uncommon beliefs and that such beliefs have spilled over to action. Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such belief system. However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are so at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system. Psychic phenomena, even assuming such exist, have no place in a judiciary duty bound to apply only positive law and, in its absence, equitable rules and principles in resolving controversies. Thus, Judge Floros reference to psychic phenomena in the decision he rendered in the case of People v. Francisco, Jr. sticks out like a sore thumb. Judge Floros belief system, as well as his actuations in the eight months that he served as RTC judge, indubitably shows his inability to function with the cold neutrality of an impartial judge. In fine, Judge Floro lacks the judicial temperament and the fundamental requirements of competence and objectivity expected of all judges. He cannot thus be allowed to continue as judge for to do so might result in a serious challenge to the existence of a critical and impartial judiciary. Equitable considerations entitle Judge Floro backwages and other economic benefits for a period of three (3) years. Nowhere is it alleged that Judge Floro acted less than honorably in procuring these evaluations.
157

In the case of Judge Floro, he is under preventive suspension up to the present because of the serious charge of mental unfitness. Be that as it may, EQUITY demands that we exercise utmost compassion in this case considering that the rules on preventive suspension of judges, not having been expressly included in the Rules of Court, are amorphous at best. Taking off from the case of Judge Iturralde, we hold that Judge Floro is likewise entitled to the payment of back salaries, allowances and other economic benefits being at the receiving end of a rule peculiar to judges who find themselves preventively suspended by the Court until further orders or, as this case, for the duration of the investigation. These facts, however, as we have already discussed, do not put Judge Floro beyond the reach of equity. To paraphrase Justice Brandeis, equity does not demand that its suitors are free of blame. As we are wont to say: Equity as the complement of legal jurisdiction seeks to reach and do complete justice where courts of law, through the inflexibility of their rules and want of power to adapt their judgments to the special circumstances of cases, are incompetent so to do. Equity regards the spirit of and not the letter, the intent and not the form, the substance rather than the circumstance, as it is variously expressed by different courts. In fine, notwithstanding the fact that Judge Floro is much to blame for the delay in the resolution of his case, equitable considerations constrain us to award him back salaries, allowances and other economic benefits for a period corresponding to three years. This is because Judge Floros separation from the service is not a penalty as we ordinarily understand the word to mean.
158

It is imposed instead upon Judge Floro out of necessity due to a medically disabling condition of the mind which renders him unfit, at least at present, to continue discharging the functions of his office. The period of three years seems to us the most equitable under the circumstances. As discussed, if we were to give him more than three years of back salaries, etc., then it would seem that we are rewarding him for his role in delaying the resolution of these cases (as well as the seven cases he filed which were only dismissed on 14 February 2006 at his own bidding). On the other hand, if we were to peg the period at less than three years then the same would only be a pittance compared to the seven years suspension he had to live through with Damocles sword hanging over his head and with his hands bound as he could not practice his profession. Judge Floros separation from the service does not carry with it forfeiture of all or part of his accrued benefits nor disqualification from appointment to any other public office including government-owned or controlled corporations. As Judge Floros separation from the service cannot be considered a penalty, such separation does not carry with it the forfeiture of all or part of his accrued benefits nor disqualification from appointment to any other public office including government-owned or controlled corporations.In fact, the psychological and psychiatric reports, considered as the bedrock of the finding of mental impairment against Judge Floro, cannot be used to disqualify him from re-entering government service for positions that do not require him to dispense justice. The reports contain statements/findings in Judge Floros favor that the Court cannot overlook in all fairness as they deserve equal consideration.

159

They mention Judge Floros assets and strengths and capacity for functionality, with minor modification of work environment. Thus: a. High intellectual assets as a result of selfdiscipline and self- organization.b. (I)mpressive academic achievements with no drastic change in his personality and level of functioning as a lawyer in private practice.c.(C)haracter traits of suspiciousness, seclusiveness, pre-occupation with paranormal and psychic phenomena not detrimental to his role as a lawyer. Everyday situations can be comprehended and dealt with in moderate proficiency . His concern for the details that make up a total field represents his attempts at being systematic and cautious. (E)quipped with analytical power. Consequently, while Judge Floro may be dysfunctional as a judge because of the sensitive nature of said position, he may still be successful in other areas of endeavor. Finally, if Judge Floros mental impairment is secondary to genetics and/or adverse environmental factors (and, unfortunately, such essential information is not available), we cannot condemn people for their faulty genes and/or adverse environment factors they have no control over.

Pacquiaos manager sacks Nazario, praises DiBella Thu 11-Jul-2002 00:00 By Paul Upham: The battle for the management control of Manny Pacquiao appears headed for the Filipino courts after the IBF junior featherweight champions manager Martyn Elorde this week terminated the services of business manager Rod Nazario, husband of Sandiganbayan Presiding Justice Minita Chico- Nazario. I have taken this step to protect the rights of Manny Pacquiao and my rights, so he can be protected when he fights in the USA or elsewhere, said Elorde. Mr Nazario doesnt show us any contracts before or after any fight, which I believe is very wrong. I want to have discussions with Mr Murad Muhammad and I want to check his books about the engagements of Manny in the United States, which is a right that we can ask for. Rod Nazario had exclusive authority to sign contracts on Pacquiaos behalf, however allegations that the Philippines leading fighter only pocketed US$36,000 after deductions from his win over Jorge Eliecer Julio on the June 8 Lewis-Tyson undercard raised the concern of Elorde. LONG-TIME BUSINESS WAYS WITH MANNY MANAGER READY TO PART

MANILA, April 21, 2005 (STAR) By Abac Cordero Rod Nazario has finally broken his silence and in the process may have broken Manny Pacquiao s heart, too. Pacquiao s burly business manager said the other night he is now ready to part ways with the boxer whom he helped carry to international stardom. Nazario described how frustrated he s been in his recent dealings with the prized fighter from Gen. Santos City.
162

He also talked about his failure to help his ward break some bad habits. Then he said he s had enough of the "new" people who have taken control of Pacquiao. Pacquiao and Nazario linked arms more than 10 years ago when the former was still a struggling four-round knockout artist. Their partnership has turned out to be a blissful one, leading to big-money fights, including seven in the US, that made Pacquiao a big household name here and abroad. Nazario has given Pacquiao, who just returned from the US yesterday morning, the right to decide, the right to choose between "him or them. This group, Nazario said, had "poisoned the mind of Pacquiao." "And the 10 percent they promised to me, which is something like $120,000, give it to himself (Pacquiao). It s for the education of his children. Para sa mga anak na niya yun. Im not saying he has no money. But I m afraid he might lose it. Kawawa ang mga bata," Nazario said. As business manager, Nazario is entitled to 10 percent of Pacquiao s $1.75 million purse for fighting Erik Morales. But it comes after the International Revenue Service has deducted $520,000 or 30 percent of the purse. "Remember, all these came shortly before the fight. Parang may conspiracy talaga na matalo si Manny. But I m not saying there is. Bahala na kayo mag-isip. Ako naa-awa kay Manny," said Nazario. Pacquiao has either won or lost millions in billiards and is into cockfighting, too." This is Manny Pacquiao-in the eyes of Rod Nazario.91

Death and Curse Justice Minita Nazario's husband Rod, age 74, former Manny Pacquiao manager, passed away on September 24, 2009 after having undergone by-pass operation in 2006 and underwent chemo-therapy for his lung cancer. Judge Floro did curse the house of Nazario at 9:30 p.m., August 4, 2006, when she refused to let the Prophet enter her Paranaque castle. Forthwith, LUIS flashed the VIOLET lights which enveloped the cursed Nazario home and the entire Philipppine judiciary. The supremacy of the 3 mystic dwarves is a gift which judicial history must emotionally accept without any condition. Rod Nazario's dying wish to Pacquiao: KO Cotto GMA news.tv - Sep 25, 2009, 06:10 PM Even at his death bed, long-time ring promoter Rod Nazario had nothing but boxing in his mind. Nazario made two major wishes to boxing sensation Manny ...Nazario even celebrated his 74th birthday in style last September 12 but was rushed to the hospital after complaining of severe weakness a few days later. Nazario handled Pacquiao from 1995 to 2005, and was the one responsible for giving the Filipino his U.S. break in 2001 when he stunned Lehlo Ledwaba to wrest the International Boxing Federation (IBF) superbantamweight title. It was also under Nazarios tutelage when Pacquiao became a legitimate world champion after bagging the World Boxing Council (WBC) flyweight crown in 1998, scored his biggest win with an 11th round technical knockout of Marco Antonio Barrera, and cemented his status as a rising boxing star following that controversial draw with Juan Manuel Marquez in their memorable 2004 title fight in Las Vegas. The two parted ways shortly after Pacquiao lost a unanimous decision against Mexican warrior Eric Morales.
164

Despite going their separate ways, the two remained close to each other, with Nazario and Co. even traveling to the U.S. last summer to watch Pacquiao demolish Briton Ricky Hatton inside two rounds for the International Boxing Organization (IBO) lightwelterweight crown. By that time, Nazario who also undergone by-pass operation three years ago had already been undergoing chemo-therapy for his lung cancer. It was Nazario who brought Pacquiao to the US in 2001 in search of a big fight. Nazario is survived by his wife, Supreme Court Justice Minita Chico-Nazario, and children Roderick, Rommel, and Karen. He also had four children from his first wife, Emenita Roberto, Raymundo, Dedet, and Myra.

Emmanuel "Manny" Dapidran Pacquiao (born December 17, 1978) is a Filipino professional boxer, actor, singer, and politician. He is currently the WBO World welterweight champion, The Ring light welterweight champion, and is rated by The Ring as the number 1 pound-for-pound boxer in the world. Pacquiao-Clottey "The Event" After negotiations for the Mayweather fight fell through, other boxers were considered to replace Mayweather as Pacquiao's next opponent, including former light welterweight champion Paul Malignaggi, and WBA World Super Welterweight champion Yuri Foreman. However, Pacquiao chose to fight former IBF World Welterweight champion Joshua Clottey instead. On March 13, 2010, at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Pacquiao defeated Clottey via unanimous decision to retain his WBO World Welterweight belt. The judges scored the fight 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109, all in favor of Pacquiao. Pacquiao is also the former IBO World light welterweight champion, WBC World lightweight champion, WBC World super featherweight champion, IBF World super bantamweight champion, and WBC World flyweight champion. Furthermore, he is the former The Ring featherweight and super featherweight champion. Pacquiao is the first boxer in history to win seven world titles in seven different weight divisions. In addition, he is the only boxer to win the lineal championship in four different weight classes. For his achievements, Pacquiao was named the 2000-2009 "Fighter of the Decade" by the Boxing Writers Association of America. Aside from being a boxer, Pacquiao has participated in politics, acting, and music recording.

From the time she received Judge Floros Rollo-case for Decision in 2004-5, her fate was determined and there is no exit from the Biblical Imprecation under Psalms 109-73. For third Ponente Justice Alicia Austria-Martinez, who unloaded Judge Floros case to Justice Conchita CarpioMorales on 2003-4, the dwarves curse made her the first jurist in Philippine history since 1901 to have retired before the mandatory hanging of robes at the age of 70 (due to the dreaded mental disease of Alzeimer). And for Justice Carpio Morales, the creeping curse of the Rollo passed by her chambers and put finis to her dream to enthrone her cousin Justice Antonio T. Carpio to be Chief Justice. The 23rd Chief Justice Renato C. Corona who suffered 2 spinal cord surgeries on 2004-2005, however, is being haunted by President NoyNoy Aquinos vendetta vis--vis the legitimacy questions of the Coronal midnight appointment. At the very least, Philippine President-elect Benigno Aquino III has selected Supreme Court Associate Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales to be the one to administer his oath of office on June 30, 2010.

Weird Decision - worldwide mockery, criticism, sympathy, shock, compassion, kindness and disbelief magic of the mystic VIOLET lights
Philippine folklore is unlike the Greek or Roman mythologies, which are long situational epics, connected and happened to form cities and lands. Philippine myths are timeless and they are only made up by rural townspeople. These countless myths gave birth to Philippine mythical creatures. These are considered fictitious yet rural towns believe in their existence. It is believed that only pure and good mortals are able to see these creatures. Filipinos also believed in mythological creatures. The Aswang is one the most famous of these Philippine mythological creatures. The aswang is a ghoul or vampire, an eater of the dead, and a lycanth. Filipinos also believed in the Dila (The Tongue), a spirit that passes through the bamboo flooring of provincial houses, then licks certain humans to death. Filipino mythology also have fairies (diwata and engkanto), dwarfs (duwende), kapre (a treeresiding giant), manananggal (a self-segmenter), witches (mangkukulam), spirit-summoners (mambabarang), goblins (nuno sa punso), ghosts (multo), fireballs (Santelmo), mermaids (sirena), mermen (siyokoy), demon-horses (tikbalang) and demon-infants (tiyanak).

A judge in the Philippines has been relieved of his duties thanks to his insistence that he possesses psychic powers and can see the future. OK, that doesn't sound so bad, but Judge Florentino Floro, who presides over a suburban court in Manila, also begins each session with a reading from the Bible's Book of Revelation and claims to have made a covenant with "dwarf friends" who help him reach his decisions. "His mental problems for now appear to render him unfit with the delicate task of dispensing justice," understated the Supreme Court ruling. (Int.iol.co.za)96

STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE WEEKS

A couple of weeks back, we learned of a judge in the Philippines who was relieved of his duties after his superiors discovered that the judge believed that he could see into the future and used imaginary dwarf friends to help him render decisions. Last week, the judge went in front of Manila's Supreme Court to plead his case. "They should not have dismissed me for what I believe," said former judge Florentino Floro. "This is the first time this happened in the Judiciary."

And now, a dispatch from our ancestral homeland, the Philippines: A Philippine judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias. So what's poor Judge Floro supposed to do now? The Philippine Supreme Court] advised Floro to look for other jobs in areas where he will be successful, but not in the judiciary. The obvious suggestion would be for him to become a psychic. But we think he'd make a great TV judge, a la Judge Judy or Judge Alex. Dwarf-driven decisions would have just about as much legitimacy.112

Imaginary dwarves cost judge job

Friday, August 18, 2006 A judge has lost his job in the Philippines, on the grounds that he regularly consulted with imaginary mystical dwarves who would join him in 'healing' sessions. Judge Florentino Floro, from Manila, was originally removed from his post in April, after it emerged that he believed himself to be psychic, and that he would begin his court session with readings from the Book of Revelation. In appealing that decision, Judge Floro mounted a staunch defence of the existence of his three dwarf friends. They were named Armand, Luis and Angel - telling the court in a letter that they had made a covenant together. From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal,' he added.117

Psychotic Filipino Judge Fired

On Friday, the Philippine Supreme Court upheld its termination of Judge Florentino Floro, finding him mentally unfit for the job. Floro, who had presided over a suburban Manila court until March 31st, claimed to conduct healing sessions in chambers with his imaginary dwarf friends, Armand, Luis, and Angel. He also told investigators evaluating his mental state that he could read the future, be in two different places at the same time, and "recharge his psychic powers" by switching his blue judicial robe to black on Fridays. Despite his contention that his personal beliefs had no bearing on his office, the Supreme Court felt they might "erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the rational guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule."118

He was removed from the bench on administrative grounds after failing a psychiatric test and, more recently, losing an appeal to keep his job. The court said Judge Floro's "insistence on the existence of [invisible] dwarves among other beliefs, conflicts with the prevailing expectations concerning judicial behaviour." At the very least, it lends the term "friends of the court" a whole new meaning.119 The Financial Post was an English Canadian business newspaper, which published from 1907 to 1998. In 1998, the publication was folded into the new National Post, although the name Financial Post has been retained as the banner for that paper's business section and also lives on in the Post's monthly business magazine, Financial Post Business. The Financial Post was first published in 1907 by John Bayne Maclean. It was a weekly publication, and one of the core assets of Maclean's media business, which eventually became Maclean-Hunter.

Sacked judge in appeal

A REGIONAL Trial Court (RTC) judge in Malabon who was relieved by the Supreme Court over his mental condition has asked to be reinstated. Judge Florentino Floro Jr of Malabon RTC Branch 73 also sought the disqualification of the six doctors who declared him mentally impaired after he admitted that he is gifted with psychic powers and is a friend to three dwarves. According to the judge, the amended Rules of Court never included weirdness, healing, psychic phenomena and the like as grounds for discipline.

190

However, the Supreme Court said, psychic phenomena, even assuming such exist, have no place in a judiciary, which is bound to apply only positive law.

Even though I never actually saw her chatting up Sleepy or Grumpy, I would imagine she did. Why else keep them hanging around? Recently, a judge over in the Philippines was bounced from his bench for communing with the wee folk. Now I ask you, is that fair? There are far worse in the world with whom he could be conspiring. Politicians come to mind first. If I had to make a choice between placing my future in the hands of a googly-eyed and grinning campaigner promising me apple pie and lower taxes or a garden gnome lounging under a toadstool and promising only to make me smile...I'd say no contest. Poor Judge Florentino Floro, ousted from office for canoodling with dwarfs. It's not like he was sharing pizza ovens with the likes of Kim Jong Il and so what if he chose to do a bit of psychic healing in his courtroom?

Washington is full of folks who swear they're doing that every day. Having segued from dwarfs to politicians, I believe I have hit on an idea that could change the world for the better. Why not replace politicians with garden gnomes? How about a Rose Garden address to the nation from the lips of Doc or Bashful? Wouldn't that carry as much weight as the gobbledygook that spills over the Beltway every day? It's shake-up time, folks and the move is on to create a new order. By fall we could have replaced every elected (term applies loosely in Ohio and Florida), appointed (everybody owes somebody) and "Where'd that guy come from?" player in Washington with a garden gnome.

The form dwarfs is generally used for real people affected by dwarfism and in reference to dwarf stars in astronomy; the form dwarves is used for the mythical people described by Tolkien and others.

Infamy, in common usage, is notoriety gained from a negative incident or reputation (as opposed to fame). The word stems from the Latin infamia, antonym of fama (fame). Infamy is a term of art in Roman Catholic Canon Law. The remainder of this article discusses infamy as defined by Canon Law. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1913, infamy in the canonical sense is defined as the privation or lessening of one's good name as the result of the bad rating which he has, even among prudent men. It constitutes an irregularity, i.e. a canonical impediment which prevents one being ordained or exercising such orders as he may have already received.There are two types of infamy, infamy of law (infamia juris) and infamy of fact (infamia fact)125.

Judge Floro filed his First Appeal captioned Partial Motions for Reconsideration grounded on the following:126 dated 21 April 2006; (dated 28 April 2006; and dated 5 May 2006] I.

II. Without the complainant, OCAs presenting the 6 mental health professionals --- Dr. Cecilia Villegas and Ms. Melinda Grio, 1995 and Dr. Celeste Vista, Ms. Beatriz Cruz, (I.Q. 68 of Judge Floro) Ms. Francianina G. Sanzhez, 1998, 2001, and general physician Dr. Rosa J. Mendoza, M.D. --their questioned (evaluation) report on Judge Floro, aside from being grossly incomplete and inadequate, is HEARSAY evidence. Judge Floro is entitled to cross-examine said mental health professional who made the report. Without such examination, he would be deprived of the right to confront and examine the witnesses against him. The Investigator (Ret.) Justice Pedro A. Ramirezs repeated denials of (1) Judge Floros Continuing Trial Objections and (2) December 5, 2000, September 28, October 9, 2001 & February 21, 2002 Omnibus Motions to a) put on the witness stand, to confront and to determine their qualifications as experts b) to cross-examine and c) to disqualify or inhibit, the said 6 mental health professionals, violated the cardinal primary rights of Judge Floro (Ang Tibay vs. CIR) to administrative, substantive and constitutional due process of law; it is no less than denial of justice.

195

Such denial suffices to cast on the investigation, official acts and the mental reports the impress of nullity. III. Judge Floros cardinal primary rights --- 2. the tribunal must consider the evidence presented; 3. the decision must have something to support itself; 4. the evidence must be substantial 5. the decision must be based on the evidence presented at the hearing --- were flagrantly violated by the Investigator (Ret.) Justice Ramirezs March 7, 2001 Partial Confidential Report: it blatantly discarded, excluded, and failed to consider the testimonies and opinions of all his ordinary witnesses. Under Sec. 50 (c), Rule 130, Rules on Evidence, Judge Floros ordinary witnesses proved by unrebutted, clear, convincing and straightforward testimonies/opinions (excluded by J. Ramirezs Report and Conclusions) his medical and mental capacity/fitness to sit as RTC Judge. III.A. Under Sec. 50 (c), Rule 130, Rules on Evidence, Judge Floros ordinary witnesses --- a) RTC Malabon Court Officers --- Fiscal Pacifico Flores, Fiscal Neptali Aliposa, PAO Lawyer Erwin Gallevo, Legal Researcher Aina Talag Pascual and NCR/RTC Judge Edmundo T.

Justices Flerida Ruth Romero (Member of the Theosophical Society) and Jesus Elbinias believed and practiced PSYCHIC PHENOMENA during their incumbency, b) DWARVES exist and can be proved by scientific methods, c) Judge Floros authentic healing was duly investigated and proved, d) Judge Floros belief in Psychic Phenomena as GIFTED is not abnormal but paranormal, and e) trance and by location can be proved.

Justice Ramirez: In bad faith, with bias and partiality, J. Ramirez a) denied all the Continuing Objections of Judge Floro at the trials, he blatantly discarded, excluded, xxx practically all of Judge Floros ADMITTED EXHIBITS 1 67/sub-markings.
197

The Investigator (Ret.) Justice Ramirez in bad faith, with bias and partiality, threw the Blue Temporary ROLLO and a Ballpen to/towards Judge Floro at a hearing. He warned and punished Judge Floro, as he said in the TSN: he intentionally OMITTED and failed to file the required (by Sec. 5, Rule 140, Rules of Court) REPORT and RECOMMENDATION (due on May, 2001) in the 2 consolidated administrative cases (A.M. NO. 99-7-273-RTC & A.M. NO. RTJ-06-1988, ARRIEGO case, Formerly A.M. OCA IPI No. 99-812-RTJ) so that Judge Floros case would not be decided and so that his suspension would be prolonged indefinitely. V. Judge Floros cardinal primary rights were flagrantly violated by the Investigator (Ret.) Justice Ramirez: In bad faith, with bias and partiality, he blatantly discarded, excluded, and failed to consider practically all 17 Decisions, 19 Resolutions and 46 Interlocutory Orders in/of the 377 pages SELECTED RULINGS of Judge FLoro, January 12 June 4, 1999 --- ADMITTED EXHIBIT 23 never contained any word/s, phrases or sentences regarding dwarfs, paranormal phenomena and use of it. Judge Floros never used PSYCHIC PHENOMENA in the Francisco criminal case. The 2 words psychic phenomena (TAKEN OUT OF CONTENT by the OCA) were merely used for embellishment as metaphors or similes. The entire Decision read as a whole never used psychic phenomena: its ratio decidendi is based on facts and the law. VI. Judge Floros expert witnesses Psychiatrists Dr. Eduardo L. Jurilla, Dr. Eduardo T. Maaba & psychologist Rowena A. Reyes --- certified and testified on their testimonies in chief that Judge Floro is mentally fit to sit as Judge. Their expert testimonies are IMPECCABLE.
198

Judge Floro TIMELY registered CONTINUING OBJECTIONS to the improper / inadmissible cross-examination questions a) regarding the field of Psychic Phenomena (which field is not the expertise of the witnesses on Psychiatry and Psychology), and b) regarding assumptions not warranted by the evidence. The Investigator (Ret.) J. Ramirez in bad faith, with bias and partiality blatantly discarded, excluded, and failed to consider their expert testimonies as a whole; he merely selected the negative portions of the crossexamination, forgetting that the lone OCA witness, Judge Aquino, Jr. miserably failed to IMPEACH the expert witnesses testimonies. All the expert witnesses of Judge Floro NEVER testified on cross-examination that Judge Floro is unfit to sit as Judge. On the contrary, Dr. Maaba specifically testified that Judge Floro is not psychotic, not insane, since his belief in dwarves and the paranormal are not abnormal but CULTURE-ORIENTED; while Dr. Jurilla and Ms. Reyes stressed that they do not know Psychic Phenomena.

VI. A. Judge Floro, his family and mild retarded brother Robert V. Floro have no defective genes (regarding mental disease). Robert V. Floros mild mental retardation (according to Cupertino Psychiatrists Records) was due to wrong medicine given to his mother during pregnancy. There is / was no medical proof whatsoever presented, that mental retardation can be inherited. To punish Judge Floro because of wrong medicine is cruel and unusual punishment banned by the Constitution. VII. The Fundamental Law forbids punishment for professing religious beliefs. Judge Floro, with due respect, cannot be relieved from office due to his religious beliefs in dwarves, angel of death, the gifts of the Holy Spirit --prophecy and spiritual healing --- and the paranormal or the spiritual.

Point by point, Mr. Jaime T. Licaucos expert testimony and opinion EXPLAINED psychic phenomena, dwarfs, healing, trance, etc. Mr. Jaime T. Licauco, whose expertise on the said special fields was duly admitted by the OCA (its main witness Judge AQUINO, JR. --- who said that Mr. Licaucos qualification is that he is an INSTITUTION older than psychic phenomena in the Philippines) testified on direct and cross-examination before Investigator, J. Ramirez, on February 27, 2001. Mr. Jaime T. Licauco testified that believing in said parapsychological or PSI (psychic phenomena) is NOT ABNORMAL, but PARANORMAL. He proved the mental fitness of Judge Floro, despite these RELIGIOUS and CULTURAL beliefs. Francisco (EVIDENCE, pp. 357, 1993 ed.) cited American common law on how the Court should weigh the testimony of expert witness. He opined that Courts cannot arbitrarily disregard the testimony of experts or skilled witnesses, and make an unsupported finding contrary to the opinion; The opinion of the expert may not be arbitrarily rejected; it is to be considered by the court in view of all the facts and circumstances in the case and when common knowledge utterly fails, the expert opinion may be given controlling effect.(20 Am. Jur. 1056-1058).

MINITA VIRAY CHICO-NAZARIO, Ponente, without addressing in detail all (or even just ONE of) the 7 grounds (supported by lengthy argument, discussions, backed up by voluminous evidence, testimonial and documentary, with submissions of local and american jurisprudence, statutes and constitutions), put to death the judicial career and destiny of the Msychic Judge, thereby ridiculing the 3 mystic dwarfs, per mere Copy paste (pro-forma) de kahon 5 paragraphs/sentences.
203

Supreme Court belittles the 3 mystic dwarves:

In denying said motions, neither the etiology of Judge Floros belief in dwendes nor the validity of such belief is being passed upon. We reiterate that judges are expected to be guided by the rule of law and to resolve cases before them with judicial detachment. The psychological finding of mental unfitness (made not only by the psychiatrists of the Supreme Court Clinic but by Judge Floros own doctors during the hearing of his cases), when taken together with Judge Floros claimed dalliance with dwendes, poses a serious challenge to such required judicial detachment and impartiality and would eventually erode the publics acceptance of the judiciary as the rational guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule. His insistence on the existence of dwendes, among other beliefs, conflicts with the prevailing expectations concerning judicial behavior and manifests a mental state that should lay to rest any doubts about his valid removal from office for lack of the judicial temperament required of all those in the Bench. In fine, Judge Floro himself has confirmed that he is incapable of discharging the duties of a judge free from extrajudicial influences and that he falls short of the fundamental requirements of competence and objectivity expected of all judges. WHEREFORE, premises considered, Judge Floros Partial Motions for Reconsideration as well as the Supplements thereto are hereby DENIED WITH FINALITY there being no merits. No other pleading, however denominated, shall henceforth be entertained by this Court. SO ORDERED.

Supreme Court Ridicules Mystic Dwarves

Judge Flerentino Floro, of the Philippines, was removed from the bench for incompetence and bias when he failed to convince the country's Supreme Court that there really were mystic dwarfs that helped him with healing sessions in his chambers. The imaginary dwarves, named Armand, Luis and Angel, allowed the Judge to write while in a trance and even allowed him to appear in two places at the same time. The Judge did have to change from the standard blue robe to a black robe on Fridays to recharge his psychic powers. The judge ended his career with a letter to the court stating: From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal." Source: news.bbc.co.uk - WebReporter: Valkyrie123130

Are we really in a different spot if the Sixth District Court decision on warrantless wiretapping et. al., comes to the Supremes? Will the supremes decide that a governmental entity, say, the AG, that consults with the mystical dwarves triplets birthed on 9/11 is psychotic and therefore has "no place in the judiciary?"131 World - Philippines Published: 04/08/2006 12:00 AM (UAE)

AP Manila: A Philippine judge who claims to possess supernatural powers, including the ability to see into the future, apparently hasn't mastered those forces to predict is his own fate, as he failed to foresee his own dismissal. The judge allegedly claimed to have psychic powers and said he had made a covenant with "dwarf friends".It said those reports found Floro to be equipped with analytical power and that his "character traits of suspiciousness, seclusiveness, preoccupation with paranormal and psychic phenomena... [are] not detrimental to his role as a lawyer."132

FASCISM CREEPS INTO THE PHILIPPINES

Now they want to take away a judge's sacred right to consult imaginary mystic dwarves, which by the way would be a good name for a rock band. (Thanks to Dan Coulter, who may or may not exist) Posted by Dave on August 21, 2006 at 12:38 PM "Dalliance with Dwarves" may not BAGNFARB, but it sure as heck would make a great album title. Oh, and yeah...it's the Dwarf Dalliances that bring ridicule to the judicial system......yeah.....dwarves...... From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal." Somehow, I doubt that Disney will be calling Florentino about a sequel deal.
209

From a completely unrelated story that is linked on the same page comes the very disconcerting phrase, "ball tampering". This judge is certifiable, but the only reason he was not considered for the Supreme Court was that he is a Phillipine judge...*certainly wants NOTHING to do with tampered balls* there once was a mystical magistrate who'd repair to chambers to cogitatewith a clerk in his pocket he'd consider his docketand with his three dwarves he'd deliberate*wonders if U.S. Supreme Court has dallied with dwarves* *wonders if the acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law is eroded "no place in the judiciary"... My guess is that in a month, he will have an afternoon TV show in the US trying only cases brought forth by Dog the Bounty Hunter, and make kazillions. Luis, Angel and Armand are also rumored to be on Howard Dean's staff. There once was a judge fond of fairiesand elves and creatures imaginaryhe kept it under wrapstill he wore a wizard's capto the bench, and made counsel wary"Your Honor, I object!" said the lawyer"this testimony is libel, it'll destroy her!""I'll consider your plea,with my counselors three,Spongebob, Peter Pan and Tom Sawyer"I can't help but imagine that this is what Saddam does during recess at his trial. Maybe with sock puppetsand it took three years to investigate him... that's (gets out calculator) a year per dwarf! Now that Luis, Armand y AngelHave been outed, they've something to tell"Judges who are mysticAre a small statisticWe also wrote 'Saved By The Bell'." However, the Supreme Court said dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule."Punkin nailed it.

210

I'm sure it's the Dwarf dalliances that have been eroding the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law and making it an object of ridiculeummmm, Aldo...Given Howard Dean's, errrrr, vertical challenges, word has it that he actually IS Armand...Part of the proof being, can anyone, anywhere, claim to have seen Dean and Armand in the same place, at the same time?? I rest my case. Phillipino Supreme Court Tosses DwarvesHey, maybe we can get Judge Floro together with the pen!s pump judge for a new courtroom drama on cable. Of course the dwarves names will have to be changed to Winkie, Peter & Rod.ive had worse judges when ive gone to court :-) Our U.S. Supreme Court sports a few members who, by all reports, consult dwarves (when it's handy) named George, Dick and Condi who's advice objectivity thwarts. Did anyone else notice that the names of these dwarfs are also the names of famous tv/movie vampires? Why won't judges allow the public a view of the methods they use? Some flip coins, some rely upon the music of the spheres, some use the arguments of the smarter lawyers, some smoke some dope and look at the mirror and say: Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the smartest of them all.134

Manila, Philippines (AHN) - A Philippine judge who claimed to have psychic powers and the ability to talk with "dwarf friends" was sacked on "administrative grounds" after a failed psychiatric test; he later lost his appeal to keep the job. Judge Florentino Floro allegedly claimed supernatural abilities and the ability to foretell the future. He would also hold "healing sessions" in his chambers. His appeal to remain at his post was rejected by the Supreme Court.

The final ruling said "judges are expected to be guided by the rule of law and to resolve cases before them with judicial detachment" to ensure the public maintained its confidence in the judicial process. "The psychological finding of mental unfitness, when taken together with Judge Floro's claimed dalliance with 'dwarves' poses a serious challenge to such required judicial detachment and impartiality," the ruling adds.

Randi also said that after he is gone he does not want his fans to bother with a museum of magic named after him or burying him in a fancy tomb, instead he said, "I want to be cremated, and I want my ashes blown in Uri Geller's eyes." His physicians have put his five-year survival rate at 50%. Randi explains how he ended up with three navels (Laparoscopic surgery). This was followed by 12 chemotherapy sessions, one per fortnight. He says that he discovered to his "delight" that chemotherapy is not necessarily as awful as it is often claimed. When he went to the hospital for his chemotherapy, on Tuesdays, he would check into the infusion lab where they would first "flush" him with all sorts of products to prepare him for the chemotherapy proper. For this, they hooked him up for two days to a small bottle (containing the chemotherapy drugs) via a thin tube to a port in his chest. He put the bottle in his pocket and went back to work, or home, feeling just fine. When the chemotherapy session was over, he started to tire, feeling weak by Friday morning, so weak that he sometimes didn't even want to get out of bed. This lasted through the weekend. He felt better by Monday, and he then enjoyed ten days of good health before his next infusion. He made the video, he says, because some people he knows chose not to undergo chemotherapy. He worries that they are risking their lives needlessly. Yes, he says, chemotherapy does cause hair to fall out, but it grows back. Yes, he says, chemotherapy does tire you out, but you can always take a nap. Yes, he says, chemotherapy is unpleasant, but none of this is insurmountable. "Please do yourself a favour", Randi says, "if your physician says you need chemotherapy, get it. Don't risk your life, and definitely don't risk your life over the bogeyman of "the ravages of chemo" or the silly words of TV stars with no expertise whatsoever." Randi closes his talk with:

Judge Floro's May 2, 2006 Verified Supplemental Motion for Partial Reconsideration of the Cursed Decision Healing Judge Floro was featured in Mr. Jaime T. Licauco's 1999 Book, "A Practical Guide to Philippine Healers". Floro, in the picture has successfully healed 14 of 15 patients in Mr. Licauco's Prince Plaza II Makati City office on October 20, 1999. Note, therefore, that all the pains, illnesses and misfortunes of the patients were extracted and transferred by the mystic and golden palmshands of Prophet Judge Floro. The 3 mystic dwarfs enemies, detractors and persecutors gladly and joyfully received the cursed formula, thus staining the bloods of their loved ones up to the 4th generation, via LUIS VIOLET lights emanating from his Bonito or dwarf hat. Such magnifiscent inflicting of illnesses and horrible deaths is properly explanined by the sister of curse, called karma. This ancient remedy used by Buddhists, had been the favorite cuisine of Honorable Thieves who proliferate in the Supreme Courts corridors of power. Eventually, their loved ones do populate the intensive care units of the most advanced Philippine hospitals. A psychic phenomenon is a subject that has been explored for centuries, and many people have attempted to figure out just how this phenomenon takes place, and what it means. Parapsychology is a discipline that seeks to investigate the existence and causes of psychic abilities and life after death using the scientific method. Parapsychological experiments have included the use of random number generators to test for evidence of precognition and psychokinesis with both human and animal subjects and Ganzfeld experiments to test for extrasensory perception. Psychic phenomena, even assuming such exist, have no place in a judiciary duty-bound to apply only positive law and, in its absence, equitable rules and principles in resolving controversies, the court said in its en banc decision.

Hypertension, diabetes With bended knees, on December 14, 2006, 2:50 p.m., Judge Floro filed his Letter-Application, knelt down and did beg for mercy to have a "job, work, trabajo and occupation" from PMS Director, Secretary Cerge M. Remonde. Floro was never given his repeatedly asked personal audie nce, and was further, humilated, denied and ridiculed. Floro cursed the PMS building. Dr. Anthony Leachon, personal cardiologist of Remonde, said the press secretarys cardiac arrest could be attributed to a confluence of factors such as his hypertension, diabetes, his cervical spine problem and his perennial habit of smoking. He added that Remonde suffered cardiac arrest at about 9:30 a.m. and was found unconscious in his bathroom an hour later. He noted an hour and a half had intervened from the time Remonde was found to the time he was brought to the hospital at 11:20 a.m. Leachon, a cardiologist of the Manila Doctors Hospital, said that Remonde had spine surgery in 2007. Remonde was in the hospital for two weeks. Leachon said a person with respiratory tract infection can predispose a patient to his cardiac problem. In October 2006, he became director-general of the Presidential Management Staff and in February 2007 was named as press secretary. Press Secretary Cerge M. Remonde did swear in Judge Natividad Dizon (Judge Floros mortal enemy) as Deputy Executive Secretary for Legal Affairs in simple ceremonies Thursday (April 30, 2009) at the Premier Guest House in Malacanang. Judge Floro accidentally met Dizon's brother Alex Giron at SM City, Baliuag, Bulacan on 2009, and the latter gave Judge Floro his celphone number Alex, 0917-3432312 so that Judge Floro would kneel before Judge Dizon and be humiliated, turned down. Alex Giron of Br. 11/15, RTC Malolos never talked again to poor jobless Judge Floro, hence the Biblical Curse upon Judge Natividad Dizon, Cerge Remonde and their loved ones up to the 4th generation as mandated by LUIS. Prior to his destined painful death, Press Secretary Cerge M. Remonde joined Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita.

Alicia Austria, December 19, 1940, Manila) is a Filipino jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines from 2002 to 2009. She was appointed to the Court by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on April 12, 2002. Justice Austria-Martinez started working in the government as a clerk in the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (February 1962 - December 1962). Later, she became Legal Officer I in the same Office (January 1963 October 1964).Justice Consuelo Ynares-Santiago The First Female Magistrate to Serve on All Courts, the Queen of Rich and Famous Justices Justice Austria-Martinez Retires due to lingering illness, incurable disease before mandatory age of retirementHRET 2008.

Cajes (Bohol, 2nd District), Rep. Justin Marc SB. Chipeco (Laguna, 2nd District), Rep. Solomon R. Chungalao (Ifugao, lone district), and Rep. Florencio T. Miraflores (Aklan, lone district). Her brief stint in the Office of the Insurance Commissioner was cut short when she became a legal researcher in the Court of First Instance of Rizal (October 1964 - July 1969), thus, starting her long and illustrious career in the judiciary. From being a researcher, she gradually worked her way up in the ladder of judicial hierarchy and, in the process, held various positions such as Attorney Researcher (July 1969 - December 1975), Senior Attorney (January 1976 - October 20, 1976), and eventually Division Clerk of Court of the Court of Appeals (October 21, 1976 - January 17, 1983). On January 18, 1983, she was appointed as the Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court (Branch XXXVI) of Calamba, Laguna.
225

On November 4, 1986, she became the Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court (Branch CLIX) of Pasig City. From 1990 to 1992, she concurrently held the position of Executive Judge of the Regional Trial Court of Pasig City. She also served in different capacities as an officer of the Philippines Judges Association and the Philippine Women Judges Association from 1987 to 1992. As most compassionate jurists, Senior Associate Justice Leonardo A. Quisumbing and Justice Ma. Alicia AustriaMartinez lead the second batch of volunteers in an outreach program in the Pediatrics Ward of the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) in Manila. On March 5, 1992, she went back to the Court of Appeals, this time as an Associate Justice. She served in this capacity until July 27, 2001, when she was appointed as the Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeals. However, her occupation of the Office of the Presiding Justice proved to be short-lived because on April 12, 2002 she was named Associate Justice of the High Tribunal. Her curriculum vitae includes: Examiner in Commercial Law in the 1994 Bar Examinations and Examiner in Remedial Law in the 2000 Bar Examinations; member of the Supreme Courts Committee on Formulation of Rules of Procedure in Family Courts which includes the drafting of the Rules on Examination of a Child Witness, on Domestic Adoption, on Commitment of Children, and on Annulment and Declaration of Nullity of Marriage; lecturer and resource person in various programs and seminars conducted under the auspices of the Supreme Court, the Philippine Judicial Academy and the U.P. Law Center. Justice Austria-Martinez graduated from the University of the Philippines in 1962, earning the degree of Bachelor Laws (LLB). She passed the Bar Examinations given in 1962. She also obtained a Masters degree in National Security Administration in 1980 from the National Defense College of the Philippines. She eventually became the Chairman of the Panel of Examiners for Oral Defense in 1987, 1988 and 1991. She also served as a member of the Board of Admission in the same College for the School Years 1991-1993.
226

Justice Austria-Martinez also attended the 31st Program of Instruction for Lawyers held at the Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1999.About 2004, Judge Floro was informed by Judge Oscar Herrera, Jr. in front of CTA Justice Cesar Casanova at Br. 80, RTC, Malolos City that SC Justice Martinez' was afflicted with Alzheimer's disease (AD), also called Alzheimer disease, Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (SDAT) or simply Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia. This incurable, degenerative, and terminal disease was first described by German psychiatrist and neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906 and was named after him. Generally, it is diagnosed in people over 65 years of age, although the less-prevalent early-onset Alzheimer's can occur much earlier. In 2006, there were 26.6 million sufferers worldwide. The prevalence of Alzheimer's is thought to reach approximately 107 million people by 2050. Curse and Resignation After her appointment by PGMA, Austria-Martinez inherited the curse Rollo case of Judge Floro for cursed Flerida Ruth-Romero and Bernardo P. Pardo. She was supposed to decide Judge Floros case after Good Friday of her appointment, but Atty. Teresita Cruz-Sison opposed Judge Floros reinstatement, while Hilario G. Davide, Jr. hated Judge Floro and vowed to put Judge Floros case on the back burner until his retirement on December, 2006. On 2003, Austria-Martinez unloaded Judge Floros case to Conchita-Carpio Morales, who was doomed by the curse. On September, 2008, Austria-Martinez, citing health reasons, filed a letter to the Supreme Court of the Philippines thru Reynato Puno, tendering her resignation effective April 30, 2009, or 15 months before her compulsory retirement on December 19, 2010. In the October 1, 2008 Judicial and Bar Council's en banc deliberations, Reynato Puno ruled: The court merely noted it. We dont have to approve it... it is her right. During the JBC hearing, a JBC member said "AustriaMartinez had wanted to retire earlier because of health reasons. We were told she had health problems even when she was in the CA.
227

Retired Chief Justice of the Philippines Artemio Panganiban stated: "I am saddened that Justice Ma. Alicia Austria-Martinez has opted to retire early from the Supreme Court due to 'health reasons.' She is not bedridden. Neither is she physically or mentally incapacitated, but she has chosen to retire on April 30, 2009 because she felt she could no longer cope with the heavy caseload." The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines provides that: "Section 11, Article VIII. The Members of the Supreme Court xxx shall hold office during good behavior until they reach the age of seventy years or become incapacitated to discharge the duties of their office." Born as Ma. Alicia Austria in Manila on December 19, 1940, Justice Austria-Martinez was introduced early to the intricacies of the law. Both her parents were lawyers. Her father, Retired Colonel Benjamin A. Austria, served in the Philippine Air Force while her mother, Remedios M. Austria, was a Doctor of Civil Law and served as a consultant in the Graduate School of the University of Santo Tomas (UST). Justice Austria-Martinez is the widow of Atty. Daniel T. Martinez who once served as the Clerk of Court of the Supreme Court. Justice Austria-Martinez has two adopted sons, Michael and Bryan.

The chance of discovering life on other worlds is greater than ever, according to Britain's leading astronomer. Lord Rees, the president of the Royal Society and Astronomer Royal, said such a discovery would be a moment which would change humanity. It would change our view of ourselves and our place in the cosmos, he said. His comments come as scientists gather in London for an international conference to discuss the prospect of discovering extra-terrestrial life. Scientists have been scanning the skies for radio broadcasts from intelligent life for 50 years, and so far they have only heard static. But the chances of discovering life now were better than ever, Lord Rees said. I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms that we can't conceive - Lord Rees, Royal Society president. He said: "Technology has advanced so that for the very first time we can actually have the realistic hope of detecting planets no bigger than the earth orbiting other stars.(We'll be able to learn) whether they have continents and oceans, learning what type of atmosphere they have. "Although it is a long shot to be able to learn more about any life of them, then it's tremendous progress to be able to get some sort of image of another planet, rather like the earth orbiting another star." The recent deployment of space telescopes capable of detecting earth-like planets around distant stars now make it possible to focus the search. "Were we to find life, even the simplest life, elsewhere that would clearly be one of the great discoveries of the 21st Century. "I suspect there could be life and intelligence out there in forms that we can't conceive."And there could, of course, be forms of intelligence beyond human capacity, beyond as much as we are beyond a chimpanzee," he added. Scientists searching for alien life should get governments and the UN involved lest we unwittingly contact hostile extraterrestrials, a British astronomer has warned. The caution comes as more experts argue that the search for intelligent life should be stepped up. Mr Marek Kukula, public astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, said: "Part of me is with the enthusiasts and I would like us to try to make proactive contact with a wiser, more peaceful civilisation."
231

But he warned: "We might like to assume that if there is intelligent life out there it is wise and benevolent, but of course we have no evidence for this.Given the consequences of contact may not be what we initially hoped for, then we need governments and the UN to get involved in any discussions," he told The Sunday Times. This week a two-day conference is being held at the Royal Society in London, titled, 'The detection of extraterrestrial life and the consequences for science and society.' There is also an astrobiology conference in Texas in April at which new methods of detecting aliens will be discussed. Abduction on the North Canol Road, one of the most remote roads in Northern Canada - September 3, 1987 Douglas Vakoch, director of interstellar message composition at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in California, told the paper: "My personal view is that being more active is a worthy strategy. There is more serious talk of it, though not at the institute level." Professor Simon Conway Morris, a Cambridge University evolutionary biologist, will be talking at the Royal Society on 'Predicting what extraterrestrial life will be like and preparing for the worst." He thought that, given that the principles of Darwinian evolution should be universal, it was "inevitable" that intelligent life would have developed elsewhere in the universe given the right environmental conditions. "If that is correct and it applied to manipulative skill then that suggests there should be alien technologies," he said. Some scientists are puzzled as to why no messages have been sent back even though humans have been transmitting radio and television signals for the last century. Prof Conway Morris reasoned that if he were in their shoes "I'm not sure I'd answer the telephone." The search for aliens should start on earth not outer space, says scientist Prof Davies said: We need to give up the notion that ET is sending us some sort of customised message and take a new approach.

The Seven Planes (or Realms) of Existence are the totality of All-That-IS in Its limitless expression of Creation. It is important to understand these Planes in order to clarify why and where our beliefs, programs, contracts, commitments, initiations and healings originate. We operate physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually as part of and connected to all the Planes. Every Plane is working in our body in complete harmony to create life at all times. Every Plane operates within this Third Plane, where we, as humans, reside. The Planet of Floro's 3 mystic dwarves is located in the 7th plane of existence. The more people who tap into the Group Collective Consciousness to witness change at this Seventh Plane, the easier it will be to shift human consciousness. We can evolve together and have instantaneous healings all the time. The Seventh Plane of Existence: is where The Creator, All-That-Is, ALL of Creation exists and creates all the other Planes. It can be tapped into and understood as the Highest Truth and Pure Love. In working from this connection, we can witness the gathering of energy and how it is utilized to co-create with the Creator-of-All--to manifest spontaneously, to witness instant healings, to change any thought form (illusion) with the absolute energy of love and joy immediately. It is "The Awakened State."142

Icelandic Elf School, also known as lfasklinn in Icelandic, teaches students and visitors about the hidden people and the 13 different kinds of elves that inhabit the country of Iceland. According to the school's headmaster, hidden people "are just the same size and look exactly like human beings, the only difference is that they are invisible to most of us. Elves, on the other hand, arent entirely human, theyre humanoid, starting at around eight centimetres. The school is located in Reykjavk, the country's largest city. The school is headed by Magns Skarphinsson. Magns has a full curriculum, and certificate programs for visitors that can be earned in as little as half a day. However, the school also publishes texts on hidden people, partly for its own use in the classroom. There is also ongoing research on the elves and hidden people of Iceland. Building in Iceland? Better Clear It With the Elves First Residents of Hafnarfjordur sometimes dress up as elves to amuse themselves and tourists. The Elf Question is a delicate one in Iceland. He also collects stories about trolls, fairies, dwarves, and gnomes, but says that "nearly 70 percent of our stories are about hidden people, because they are most seen here." Magns organizes five hour long educational excursions for visitors, and finishes the tour with coffee and pancakes at the school. Despite never advertising his school, Magnus typically gets 5-10 people per excursion. Since opening in 1991, over 9,000 people, most of them foreigners, have attended the school. The lfasklinn also provides "aura readings" and "past-life explorations".

In the Land of the Fairy King: Icelands Elf School, Magnus Skarphedinsson is both the brother of the leader of one of Icelands most influential political parties and the head of The Icelandic Elf School. With a curriculum, classrooms, textbooks, diplomas, and ongoing research, lfasklinn (Elf School) teaches about the five different types of elves, hidden people, and other invisible beings that inhabit this island nation. There are elves, light-fairies, hidden people, dwarfs, gnomes, and mountain spirits, and, thanks to my Elf School textbook, I have drawings to tell me how each type appears. Iceland: Reykjavik: The Icelandic Elf School (lfasklinn) According to the Icelandic Tourist Board, about 10 percent of Icelanders believe in the existence of a "hulduflk" or a hidden world of elves, dwarfs and spirits with magic powers. Another 10 percent deny them, but the remaining 80 percent on the North Atlantic island nation either have no opinion or refuse to rule out their existence. Magns claims that while only 26% of Icelanders believe in elves, 80% "do take notice." The more knowledgeable folklore scholars from the school can put their degree to use. Several organizations in Iceland either currently or have employed a full time folklore researcher to determine the impact of construction projects on hidden communities. Most notably, the public works department created this position for a time after a number of unexplained equipment malfunctions and injuries. Many Philippine Judges and Justices (including their personnel) were and are very corrupt. They regularly demand, extort and receive bribes - as the Court ruled that bribery can only be punished per entrapment proceedings. The Psychic Judge merely cites statistics, which is part of orthodox science. This is, for sure, what Justice Bedsworth described as: Making decisions by flipping a coin. The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the parody religion the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or Pastafarianism.
235

Created in 2005 by Bobby Henderson, it was originally intended as a satirical protest against the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in public schools. In an open letter sent to the Kansas State Board of Education, Henderson parodied the concept of intelligent design by professing belief in a supernatural creator which closely resembles spaghetti and meatballs. A learned hand states: I am in no position to ascertain whether Judge Floro is truly psychic, and in even less of a position to ascertain whether he is fit to perform his duties. I do know that I would not want to find myself in his courtroom, not because of any claims to psychic ability, but because of the extremity of his spiritual and religious beliefs. A judge should, ideally, be objective, and Judge Floro claims that his beliefs do not effect his courtroom decisions. But here in the US, time and time again we see judges not only allowing their religious beliefs to effect their decisions, but actually being chosen because it is expected of them to allow their religious beliefs to effect their decisions. Judges are no less human than the rest of us and all of us allow our beliefs to dictate our actions. I highly doubt Judge Floro is an exception. Judge Floro, like our own US president, claims that God put him into office. Such egotism - as we americans have seen - is a very dangerous thing for a person in power to have. People who believe their power is bestowed by God are far more likely to misuse that power, thinking themselves invulnerable to scrutiny, and to the checks and balances that should be a part of every system of power. And I have to ask, if God really did want JudgeFloro in office, then why did God not do more to prevent the judges removal from office? I also have to question the nature of any spirit guide who would inflict an innocent child with epilepsy as punishment for the alleged crimes of his mother.
236

This is not wisdom. This is not guidance. This is just nasty. But if, as Judge Floro claims, the guides were sent by the cruel creator/demiurge Yahweh-EloahIaldabaoth, then I suppose we shouldnt be too surprised by this behavior. Of course, all of the above is just my personal opinion. Just because the judges beliefs differ from mine doesnt mean he should be dismissed from his job. Just because I wouldnt want to find myself in his courtroom doesnt mean others feel the same way. A version of the Shield of the Trinity diagram painted on the ceiling of Landa church, Halland, Sweden in 1804: The central node includes the letters of the Hebrew tetragrammaton YHWH. The three links connecting the three outer nodes include trinitarian doctrinal affirmations (Tre ro ett "Three are one", ett ro tre "one is three", och de tre ro ett "and the three are one") -- rather than words with the meaning "is not" (which are usually included in these positions in other versions of the "Shield of the Trinity" diagram). Horoscope of Karl Ernst Krafft Brilliant Swiss astrologer, Karl Ernst Krafft was recruited by the Nazis to spread propaganda and dispense astrological advice during the Second World War. Whether he worked directly for Hitler is debatable. Certainly he worked with senior Nazis including, Joseph Goebbels. However in 1941 he fell out of favour and died in prison. Read about the role of Ernst Krafft and his rival, Louis de Wohl, recruited by the British to work as a secret military astrologer.143

I suffered the 7 years Longest Suspension in World Judicial History due to a Mortal Sin refusal of an incumbent magistrate Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. to tell the truth to the Court. I asked for justice but I was granted equity. However, I found kindness and greatest sympathy from the far, far other side of the earth: from the hearts of more than 1,000+ bloggers, 5,000+ forum discussions users or members, and 100+ international reports, wires, headlines (unprecedented in the chronicles of the earth), that made me and my Gods holy angels or 3 spirit guides immortal in the indelible memory of world history. --- The Healing Judge --Under Canon Law and Christs Commandment of Love there is only one SIN that cannot be forgiven even in Heaven: Presumption of the Holy Spirit the refusal to tell the truth (for we are servants of Veritas, who is the Light of the World).

Hazel (the maid of Ponente, Justice Minita Viray Chico-Nazario) told Judge Floro (as he approached the door of her house), that she hears Mass daily and (3 times a week) prays at the Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Baclaran. Atty. Pol San Juan (who worked for 8 years with the 2nd former Ponente, J. Austria-Martinez) informed the Judge that she recited the Holy Rosary daily, and prayed for hours before she would pen a very difficult decision. 3 times, on 3 Sundays, for 9 hours, Judge Floro physically touched and spiritually healed the body of the King Maker (August, 1999, at his home). As lay Minister of St. Peters Church, J. Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. receives and distributes the Sacred Host Sundays. Judge Floro believes in prayer. He did pray to our Mother of Christ and St. Peter that the Ponente and J. Hermosisima, Jr. should bestow upon his jobless soul the truth. But they refused. They buried VERITAS waiting for its funeral in their graves. My case is not about dwarves and angel of death: I had been a victim of political and personal vengeance This is the essence of the CURSE.

Teresita Cruz-Sison): he drafted, finalized and signed TWIN NULL AND VOID S.C. EN BANC RESOLUTIONS in this case (in bad faith, absolutely discarding the Constitutional mandate - rights of the defendant in criminal prosecutions applicable to judges in administrative proceedings).

245

On July 20, 1999, I was placed under preventive suspension by virtue of 3 pages S.C. Resolution, En Banc. THE 85 pages fictitious complaint of Benipayo was expunged from it, since the S.C. process server Peter merely served the resolution without the complaint. On July 23, September 17, and October 6, 1999, I filed with this Court and Office of the Court Administrator, 3 written letters-motions-requests for copy of the Complaint and pertinent pages of the Rollo. Investigator Justice Ramirez and Justice Benipayo refused to furnish me a single page thereof. Hence I was forced to file my ANSWERS and COMPLIANCE guessing what the issue was and the charges really were, while Justice Ramirez proceeded with the trial under my protest. HOW CAN I BE ADJUDGED GUILTY, AND PUNISHED (WITH FINALITY) OF GROSS IGNORANCE OF THE LAW? I HAD HAD NO FISCAL. THE FISCAL TEMPORARILY ASSIGNED TO ME RESIGNED. THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A FISCAL. Justice Alfredo L. Benipayo and Judge Benjamin M. Aquino, Jr., as ordered by Atty. Teresita Cruz-Sison, refused to assign a fiscal to my sala. On the second day of my criminal trial as newly appointed Judge, on March 2, 1999, Fiscal Joy Diaz who was temporarily appearing thereat on his own will and volition without any written appointment or detail, resigned without my or his superiors permission. However, I notified him and the Public Prosecutors Office of all the criminal trials, motions, etc. set from March 1 to 25, 1999, as evidenced by his signature on the notice paper, duly received and dated by him February 24, 1999. The February 23, April 5, 21, and May 12, 1999 documents utterly proved that I had no fiscal. I and the accuser, my Clerk of Court, Atty. Esmeralda Galang-Dizon requested the DOJ a fiscal for my sala. My sala had 81 detention prisoners with 474 pending criminal cases. Therefore, how could I be guilty of such crime charged?
246

My Ponente ruled and wrote with WISDOM: There is no indication that Judge Floro is anything but an honorable man. And, in fact, in our disposition of the 13 charges against him, we have not found him guilty of gross misconduct or acts or corruption.146 It is also a proverbial truism that "truth fears nothing but concealment." Yet, as the German dramatist Friedrich Von Schiller reminded us: "Truth lives on in the midst of deception.

Sabihin mo kay Chief Justice Panganiban, magapply ka nang Janitor; o, sabihin mo, Clerk baka maawa pa sa iyo! Jovito Salonga I was awed by his brilliance and wisdom. He is the most fascinating person I ever met; and after waiting for 6 years, it was on January, 2006, when I was FIRST able to get an audience with this conceited man. At his mansion (# 8 Acacia st., Valle Verde III, Pasig City, 631-0247), he (thru her maid Lilia) gave me a glass of orange juice. I sympathize with you, he calls me Mentor Since 1995, he (C.J. Panganiban) inhibits in all my cases. HE IS ETHICALLY CORRECT He browsed over my thick papers/pleadings. A man of few words I asked: My case could not be decided It was submitted since April, 2001, and I filed more than 60 Motions to Decide, to Lift Suspension He was listening and I asked:

SIR, may PUSO po ba sila?

6 taon na po akong nagdusa, at wala naman akong kasalanan, maari po ba ninyo akong matulungan, na sana po ma-Desisyonan na ang kaso ko My case has NO REPORT, NO RECOMMENDATION it was consolidated . what should I do? I told him that - I want to get an audience with all the Justices except the Ponente. I want them to examine for themselves if I am psychotic and insane, for it was the Finding and Conclusion of the Investigator and UST psychiatrists. I therefore opted to DISMISS ALL THE CASES AGAINST ALL MY DETRACTORS, taking a cue from the Senators the wise forgive but do not forget. After the Decision was promulgated, I visited the good Senator again. I mailed to him via LBC all copies of the international reports and thousands of blogs on my case. He asked me to give him a copy of my DRAFT of the Motion for Partial Reconsideration due before May, 2006. I sent him instead copies of the voluminous FILED appeal.
248

I told him that since I dismissed all my cases against all respondents, there would be no more reason for the Justices to deny my final request for personal audience, just for them to personally observe if I am really psychotic, and before the Resolution should be issued. BUT THE GOOD SENATOR SAID: You have already decided. And those were the last words I heard from him. I called LILIA, her only maid, nurse, cook and secretary. Forthwith, I and Lilia became phone PALS since she told me that her father and child who had long been afflicted with a diseases, suddenly were totally cured by my HEALING COCONUT OIL. LILIA told me that ---- she already talked many times but the good Senator said that there is no more hope. I called her the morning of August 4, and she sadly informed me of the untimely demise of Lily VICTORINO, and her amo would be very busy. "Every truth, the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer wrote, "passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first, it is ridiculed; in the second, it is opposed; in the third, it is regarded as self-evident Truth is often associated or connected with time.

But before it does so, it goes through a labyrinthine path battling with minotaurs of errors and untruths. "Time tries truth. March 28 / 29, 2004: ATENEO ALAFI meeting, Malacanang

On the second week of April, 2005, I personally approached Justice ARTURO BRION, inside his CA chambers. I confessed to him that I quoted in my filed October 7, 2004 motion to lift suspension the confidential text of TONETTE BRION to me (dated March 31, 2004): that Justice BRION was personally promised by Justice CORONA, that my case would be resolved not later than 3 months, or at the latest, about July, 2004. I therefore, decided to undertake my 7th MYSTIC JOURNEY to Paoay, Ilocos Norte. My GABAY LUIS and more than 200 other GABAYS (under him) were present when I stood still before Don Lucas Carpios house, 7 feet closer to the antiquated name plate: CONCHITA C. CARPIO, ATTORNEY-AT-LAW. I PRAYED TO GOD SO HARD, SINCE MY 3RD PONENTE FAILED TO HEAR GODS VOICE AND I HAD A DREAM THAT SHE WOULD NOT DECIDE MY CASE, DUE TO THE LIVING CURSE UPON THE ROLLO. Meanwhile, instantaneously, Justice BRION became MAD at me, thus: Bakit pati asawa ko dinadamay mo, alam mo namang CONFIDENTIAL yan ! Kaya naman pala galit sayo si CORONA, e, I WAS POLITELY ASKED TO LEAVE THE CHAMBERS, even if I humbly asked for APOLOGY (reasoning out that more than 1 year passed and Justice CORONA failed us/broke his promise). I could not believe that an ATENEO professor on constitutional & labor law never knew the definition of KINDNESS. I cursed the BRIONs. Truth offers its pleasures or blessings to those who accept it wholeheartedly. Truth is the basis for wise and reasoned judgment. It sets a good example for others to follow. Truth is the great catalyst for change and progress. "The man who fears no truth, Jefferson said, "has nothing to fear from lies.
251

TRUTH, Jean Jacques Rousseau said, "is the most precious of all blessings. Without it man is blind; it is the eye of reason. In the same vein, the Greek philosopher Plato remarked: "There is nothing so delightful Truth is enough to strike fear in the hearts of the decent, the righteous or the God-fearing. RELEVANT ANTECEDENTS 3 years ago, my classmate TONETTE BRION (1982, ATENEO, wife of then USEC. ARTURO BRION, under DFA SEC. BLAS OPLE; and formerly, USEC, Labor), approached me regarding her FIBROSIS, for a healing session at their Pandacan (564-9977), Manila residence. She also asked me to do a Spanish psychic card reading session; at that time USEC. BRION could not be appointed CA Justice, despite the influence of CORONA (their closest family friend who regularly visits their 2 children, now professionals at CANADA). TONETTE BRION texted me almost daily, and asked me to help her husband be appointed via PSYCHIC PHENOMENA, and I texted her that he would be appointed IN TIME, and had a fighting chance to reach the High TRIBUNAL. At the MANILA POLO CLUB, our cursed class tendered him a dinner. CA Justice BRION, privately conferred with incoming YMCA CHAIR J. REGINO C. HERMOSISIMA, JR. at Singapore. J. BRION promised me that since CORONA is very LEGALISTIC, all he can request, is that my case be RESOLVED, since at that time, 2003, my case had been submitted for judgment on April, 2001. On or about October, 2003, after TONETTE confirmed that her fibrosis was healed (by my first healing) according to her doctor, I confided to her the forthcoming PAINS of CORONA, not to mention the diabetes/severe hypertension of her husband CA JUSTICE BRION. 3 weeks with severe hypertension due to DIABETES, J. BRION consulted DR. JANE GASTON, endocrinologist, ST. LUKEs, the principal doctor of CORONA.

1st & 2nd SPINAL SURGERIES, ST. LUKES & USA The VISION I called TONETTE. WE TALKED FOR 1 HOUR, CA OFFICE, and I asked her to tell both ART BRION & CORONA that before holy week, 2004 and before my 5th year birthday, 2004, CORONA will have to undergo 2 painful spinal surgeries (I received this message via a VISION). TONNETTE again called me to conduct SPANISH CARD READING and considering the fact that she appeared sincere, I agreed. We did the PSYCHIC READING at the Court of Appeals Office beside the CA chambers of Arturo Brion. For 30 minutes she tested me regarding their family financial status. And satisfied, she requested me to predict regarding the MARITAL FIDELITY of ARTURO BRION. I refused but she insisted.149 I told her: Tonette, maawa ka naman baka madamay pa ako and sensing that she would treat the matter with confidentiality, I did. She got the 5 cards and I said that according to the READING, her husband really was having FUN, and that is normal GALIVANTING? she asked; and I replied, according to your bunot of the cards. It never crossed my mind that she would have left abroad in PAIN and made it appear that she would visit her 2 children, instead of studying or enrolling at a University here for further studies For that session of card reading, Justice Brion got mad, and, I was surprised that Justice CORONA got angry to me HOW COULD I POSSIBLY OBTAIN JUSTICE WHEN BEFORE THE PROMULGATION OF THE DECISION / RESOLUTION, ATTY. MARIO ONGKIKO & JUSTICE ARTURO BRION BOTH TOLD ME ABOUT THE VOTE AND ANGER OF CORONA? MAY PUSO PO BA SILA? I WILL PRAY FOR THEM: THE CURSE

FLASHBACK --The appointments of DE LEON, JR. & CORONA

On Nov. 9, 1998, the JBC & C.J. ANDRES NARVASA legally quarreled (In re: VALENZUELA & VALLARTA, 298 SCRA 413-19), since Pres. Fidel Valdez Ramos wanted to appoint RENATO CORONA as S.C. Justice (grooming him to be the youngest CHIEF JUSTICE later on). C.J. NARVASA strongly objected (since CORONA was then so young). When my written PREDICTION (cause of my July 20, 1999 suspension) displayed on my sala at Malabon, on December 20, 1998150, that ERAP WILL not finish his term, came to pass on Jan. 20, 2001), Justice REGINO C. HERMOSISIMA, JR. told me that: If you can predict that CORONA would be appointed by PGMA, he might be the successor of your PONENTE, J. BERNARDO PARDO, hence, your reinstatement, since we worked hard for him. Due to my impeccable PROPHECY for Justice HERMOSISIMA,JR., that, a very dark/young horse, my ATENEO professor, SABINO DE LEON,JR.151 would be appointed S.C., JUSTICE, J. HERMOSISIMA, JR. encouraged me to PREDICT the appointment of CORONA, for 2 reasons:

a) at that time, there was VERY STRONG public opposition (led by ATTY. SAGUISAG, calling Justice CORONA in the papers, NUISSANCE JUSTICE), and b) Justice CORONA was wellahead of Justice ANTONIO T. CARPIO (who was appointed on October 22, 2001 Oct. 26, 2019, being groomed by PGMA as the favorite horse future CHIEF JUSTICE); CORONA should have been appointed before CARPIO, recalling the cited VALLARTA case. When my flawless PREDICTION became TRUTH for CORONA, J. ALICIA AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ (the NINANG of the mastermind of my suspension, ATTY. TERESITA CRUZSISON, JBC 3-TERMER member), became the PONENTE. Justice Hermosisima, Jr. repeatedly encouraged me to reconcile with her. I did, but she was so cunning, and her lust for vengeance became so wild that it .I talked to her so many times; she is as gentle as a doll. I remember HER .

But God was so kind to me, that TRUTH revealed itself in many ways: Jenny Bedana (private secretary, wife Austria, adopted son of Justice Alice) of Michael

Pol San Juan worked (for 8 years as confidential CA attorney/staff of CA Justice MARTINEZ). He told me about the fairy tale story of love, affection, prayer, discipline . the good Justice from cursed Cainta had adopted --- Michael and Bryan. Michael is married to Ma. Evangeline Jenny Bedana Austria. They have two children, Marianne Nicole and Vince Matthew. Bryan is still single. It was February that I was told by an OCAD staff (who is now abroad, whom I healed at Angat) that they arranged for a month my 2 push carts ROLLO, to have been delivered to the 2nd Ponente, J. Austria Martinez, for her to have penned the Decision.

I therefore called and texted Atty. Pol San Juan, and told him to ask Jenny that the good Justice should grant me an audience. But Atty. Pol San Juan texted me that MY CASE HAD BEEN UNLOADED to c. morales ---- 0917-5163143 She prayed the Rosary daily, and would pray for hours before she would pen a controversial decision. I dropped by the good Justices office, and I met Jenny, her daughter-in-law (Evangeline). I asked her to help me to ask her mother to decide my case and she asked me to conduct card reading but I said that it would be improper I conducted spiritual healing with my oil upon 3 court personnel thereat Atty.

Hon. JOSE C. CAMPOS, JR. EXPOS OF A TRUE-TO-LIFE WORLD VENGEANCE, CORRUPTION and PARANOIA OF HATRED,

On September 19, 1995, 11:45 a.m., I predicted the (19967 major or masive STROKE, which prompted Atty. Tesie Sison to FALSIFY my JBC I.Q. 108 to 68); that morning, I predicted the cardiac DEATH of a JBC member Atty. Francisco Tito Santiago, husband of my tormentor SC Justice Consuelo Ynares-Santiago, whose kidney was removed last 2003, and the accident of another retired Justice JBC Member Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. Lest We Forget Justice REGINO C. HERMOSISIMA, JR., JBC Member and Justice Alfredo Marigomen both asked C.J. Narvasa to break the JBC tie, and to disregard Atty. Sisons falsification of my I.Q. to 68. I was appointed on my natal day, November 4/5, 1998, at age of 45, youngest NCJR RTC Judge, as I applied on my birthday, November 5, 1997. ATTY. SISON ordered Justice Alfredo L. BENIPAYO and his co-conspirator Bernardo P. Pardo and Flerida Ruth Romero with Jose A.R. Melo, to recommend my suspension, since I DISPLAYED on my sala the WRITTEN DECEMBER 8, 1998 PROPHECY, THAT ERAP WILL NOT FINISH HIS TERM, that I believe in dwarfs and had power to inflict sickness. THE CONFIDENTIAL COMPLAINT OF ATTY. SISON WAS NEVER PUBLISHED. 2 REGULAR MEMBERS -- Justice Regino C. Hermosisima, Jr. and Justice Alredo Marigomen OF THE JBC PERSONALLY KNEW that ATTY. TERESITA CRUZ-SISON ORDERED JUSTICE BENIPAYO TO RECOMMEND THE FILING OF THE
COMPLAINT (WITHOUT ANY PRIVATE COMPLAINANT).

The Wicked and the Righteous I saw all this when I thought about the things that are done in this world, a world where some people have power and others have to suffer under them xxx. Why do people commit crimes so readily? Because crime is not punished quickly enough xxx. (Ecclesiastes 8: 9, 11)

Injustice in the World

In addition, I have also noticed that in this world you find wickedness where justice and right ought to be xxx. I told myself, God is going to judge the righteous and the evil alike, because everything every action, will happen at its own set time. xxx. (Ecclesiastes 3: 16-17) DETAILED ACCOUNT OF HOW THE MASTERMIND, ATTY. TERESITA CRUZ-SISON ORDERED JUSTICE BENIPAYO TO FILE THE JULY 13, 1999 CURSED MEMORANDUMCOMPLAINT-RECOMMENDATION OF INDEFINITE PREFENTIVE SUSPENSION. Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.154 September 19, 1995, 9:00 a.m. --- PERSONAL AUDIENCE (With JBC Member Justice CAMPOS) It never crossed my mind that a former Justice of the Supreme Court would accuse his companion (JBC regular Member) of being the CONDUIT OF POLITICIANS. Instead of interviewing me on my academic and private practice backgrounds, Justice CAMPOS was cursing and hurling harsh outrages.

Justice Campos specifically stated to me that the COUNCIL was being manipulated by the most corrupt maneuvers of his companion (member). After the panel interview, psychological and psychiatric tests, I REPORTED the matter to Melinda Grio, psychologist and Dr. Cecilia Villegas, JBC psychiatrist during the evaluation.

VISION OF STROKE, ACCIDENT AND DEATH

After the psychiatric interview, I confided to Dr. Cecilia Villegas, that, as GIFTED, I vividly SAW the massive STROKE of a JBC member, the death and accident of another. I also informed her of my withdrawal of the JBC application, (RTC, Guagua) due to the JBC bickerings and flash floods: TO HEAL THE WOUNDS OF CORRUPTION AND DIVISION IN THE JBC / OCAD / JUDICIARY --- SIN AND DEATH. In the VISION, I was ordered by my GABAYS (Spirit Guides/Protectors) to implement their MISSION: to clean the entire judiciary, OCAD & the JBC. NOV. 5, 1997 NATAL DAY JBC APPLICATION NOV. 4/5, 1998 BIRTHDAY (BR. 73, RTC, MALABON) APPOINTMENT (GIFT OF THE ROBES) My GABAYS specifically directed me to FILE the JBC application on my natal day, November 5, 1997 as they would BESTOW upon me a GIFT on my next birthday, Nov. 5, 1998: the ROBES. CLEAN THE JBC /JUDICIARY, SUPREME COURT / OCAD: June 22, 1998, 9:30 a.m. FALSIFICATION of my I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) 108 to 68 (Level of Mild Retarded) ordered by Atty.

LUX IN DOMINO --- THE LIGHTS OF MY 3 ANGELS/GUIDES -- BLINDED ST. PAUL --- HIS CONVERSION CRUSHED EVIL The most powerful officers of the Secretariat, the Chief, S.C. Medical Clinic Services, Dr. Rosa J. Mendoza, the psychiatrist, Dr. Celeste P. Vista and the psychologist, Ms. Beatriz O. Cruz were all ordered by the Mastermind, ATTY. TESIE SISON to change/falsify my I.Q. to a very low 68 (level of mentally retarded), in the Summary of Test Results and Clinical abstracts dated June 22 and June 25, 1998, respectively. My name was deleted in the final lists of JBC nominees, but I submitted to the JBC En Banc counterevidence versus the FALSIFIED I.Q. 68: the September 3 & 4, 1998 PSYCHOLOGICAL (positive) REPORT of Dr. Ma. Teresa Gustillo-Villasor, Ph.D., and the (positive) Psychiatric Evaluations of Dr. Eduardo L. Jurilla & Dr. Pacita Salceda-Ramos, most renowned psychiatrists of the Makati Medical Center. Fiscal ROSA REYES was the annointed political candidate but a timely administrative charge, by Judge Adoracion Angeles disqualified her [She was later nominated and then appointed RTC Judge, Br. 74, Malabon, M.M., my adjacent, neighbor branch]. Forthwith, upon my release of the July 20, 1999 LIVING CURSE Motion, she was inflicted with CANCER of the Lungs, underwent chemotherapy and died. Assistant Judge Leonido took over her sala in view of the CURSE. ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 82-2005: In the interest of an efficient administration of justice xxx the following judges are hereby DESIGNATED as follows:1.HON. LEONARDO L.

She shall submit a Monthly Accomplishment Report to the Office of the Court Administrator. Judge Rosa died of cancer on March 9, 2007.

I appealed to Dean Amado Dimayuga (in front of 2 JBC Members), but he lambasted me and said: You cannot appeal, this is a collegiate decision. September, 1998 JBC En Banc DELIBERATION: Chief Justice Andres Narvasa BROKE the tie: I got only 2 VOTES from the JBC Regular Members. When Chief Justice ANDRES NARVASA broke the TIE in the tumultuous JBC En Banc September, 1998 deliberations, I never obtained any positive endorsement from the politicians who blocked my appointment. Atty. Tesie Sison, literally and physically had gone to the floor of the JBC En Banc on September, 1998 deliberations, so ANGRY (according to Justices Hermosisima, Jr. and J. Marigomen). GIFT OF THE BLUE ROBES BY MY GABAYS --When I was appointed on my birthday155 (November 4/5, 1998), I was told by Atty. Solis, that his brother - Judge Cesar Solis [whom I first met at Malolos, RTC, Br. 21, 1993, when his wife died of CANCER. He is the father-inlaw of ATTY. MA. ISABEL PROVIDENCIA BIBING TIMBANGKAYA SOLIS who DRAFTED the 75-pages Psychosis Decision in this case DULY CURSED by my guides] ---- that I had to see Justice Alfredo Marigomen and Justice Hermosisima, Jr., about a circulating MEMORANDUM of SUSPENSION.

I confronted Justices Hermosisima, Jr. and Marigomen, and both confirmed to me the same, caused by Atty. Tesie Sison, as TWIN VENGEANCE against my prediction of her STROKE. I was again called by Justice Alfredo Marigomen and Justice Hermosisima, Jr. to explain regarding accusations contained in a circulating Memorandum (the JBC Members received about March/April, 1999) recommending my suspension. Justice Alfredo L. Benipayo and his co-conspirators inserted weird accusations of: incensing for an hour before trial, consultation with dwarves Then I looked again at all the injustice that goes on in this world. The oppressed were crying, and no one would help them. No one would help them, because their oppressors had power on their side xxx. I envy those who are dead and gone: they are better off than those who are still alive xxx. But better off than either are those who have never been born, who have never seen the injustice that goes on in this world xxx. (Ecclesiastes 3: 1-3) When I first assumed office on December 9, 1998, 2:00 p.m., I notified all my staff at Br. 73, RTC, Malabon of the conspiracy to suspend/dismiss me. When I attended the required Tagaytay Seminar for newly appointed Judges, I asked the Supreme Court/OCAD verbally and in writing to look into the matter of the conspiracy and I asked for Judicial Audit per the 1st session day, January 25, 1999 REQUEST. The audit was conducted by the co-conspirators of the MASTERMIND on March 2-3, 1999. Instead of auditing my sala, they fabricated flimsy charges at the Malabon RTC canteen.

KARMA-CURSE - DAVIDE BENIPAYO RAMIREZ

Respondent Hilario G. DAVIDE, JR. violated the Canons of Judicial Conduct, when he allowed suspended Judge Philbert Iturralde and the latters wife to enter the Chief Justices chambers to discuss the administrative case. Thereafter, Iturralde was fully reinstated.
265

I HAPPENED TO HAVE SEEN AND HEALED JUDGE PHILBERT ITURRALDE AT EL KABAYO EQUESTRIAN CENTER, SUBIC, SBMA, OLONGAPO CITY, WHEN, HIS DAUGHTER AND I HAD BEEN RIDING HORSES THEREAT, February, 2001; JUDGE ITURRALDE advised me to see J. Ynares-Santiago, his Ponente, and C.J. Davide, Jr. so that my suspension would be lifted. Judge Iturralde told me that it was Gov. Ito Ynares who helped him. So, since I was able to predict the third term of Atty. Tesie Sison, she arranged for me an audience with J. Ynares-Santiago. On the last Friday of May, 2001, J. Ynares-Santiago allowed me, through the grace of Atty. Tesie Sison, to have had the audience. Her daughter Pura Angelica Santiago was there, in front of us (who was very interested in Mr. Jaime T. Licaucos teachings). J. Consuelo Ynares-Santiago asked me regarding card and palm reading, but I politely refused, since, I might predict illnesses at that time, which would ruin my case. J. YnaresSantiago said that I should see Davide, Jr. as Judge Iturralde did. I was granted an audience for an hour with Bryan Hilary Davide, and the latter said that the Chief did not want to see me. And I asked him to tell his father that I had suffered so much already, I begged of him that my case should be decided that was June, 2001. Justice Hermosisima, Jr. informed me that the Chief Justice believed in dwarves and used Virgin Coconut Oil, AND that Davide, Jr. consulted spirit questors or psychics to have detected dwarves at Colawin house, where his father, Hilario, Sr. and brothers Jose and Jorge lived. I SADLY STATED TO JUSTICE HERMOSISIMA, JR. THAT MY SPIRIT GUIDES SHOWED ME THE VISION OF PAINS THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY HIS FATHER HILARIO, SR. (WHO WOULD LIVE UNTIL MY CASE IS DECIDED, WHILE HIS 2 BROTHERS WOULD SUFFER STROKES, AND WOULD EXPERIENCE GREATER PAIN, LINGERING ILLNESSES), BECAUSE OF THE CURSE.

I WARNED JUSTICE HERMOSISIMA, JR. REGARDING THE FIRE OMEN THAT HAPPENED TO CORRUPT HALLS OF JUSTICE OF MALABON, WHICH WERE ALL BURNT EXCEPT MY SALA ON MY FIRST ANNIVERSARY SUSPENSION. Circa his PROSTATE treatment end of that year, Justice Hermosisima, Jr. stated the following, as fact: He vaguely defined the essence of hope: Wait for 2005! I queried: Will I be reinstated this 5th Christmas? He replied: She started it all!

There is an apparent vacancy in the ambassadorial post for the permanent representative to the United Nations, and Davide wants it, except that neophyte Sen. Jose Estrada is making sure that Davide will not get confirmed for the post, which is currently being held by Ambassador Lauro Baja. Sen. Miriam Santiago who sits as chairman of the Commission on Appointments screening committee for Malacaang-designated diplomats yesterday disclosed that Davide will be facing rough sailing in his confirmation of an ambassadorship in New York. Besides the objections and manifestations by Sen. Jinggoy Estrada to question Davide, Santiago said there are at least two sworn oppositors who have manifested their objections to the confirmation of Davide. The committee has the power to reject the oppositions filed but Sen. Jinggoy Estrada has the power to veto the confirmation under Section 20 of the rules of the CA, she said.Hearing on Davides appointment is next in line scheduled for consideration by the CA."161

However, due to the twin deaths and double mournings (ATTY. LUZVIMINDA PUNO and LIRIO BAUTISTA VICTORINO, spouses of S.C. Justice Puno and JBC Justice Raoul Victorino, respectively), inter alia, it blinked: WHEREFORE, premises considered, Judge Floros Partial Motions for Reconsideration as well as the Supplements thereto are hereby DENIED WITH FINALITY there being no merits. No other pleading, however denominated, shall henceforth be entertained by this Court.162 On September 26, 2006, the Philippine Supreme Court, En Banc, with full authority, promulgated a Resolution (released on October 5, 006), giving DUE course and DOCKETING as full-blown ADMINISTRATIVE CASE, Judge Florentino Floros August 30, 2006 Verified Complaint against MRS. MARILYN PUNO SANTIAGO, sister of Senior Supreme Court Associate Justice Reynato PUNO and Dep. Ed. Higher Education Chair Carlito PUNO. Judge Floros verified complaint principally deals with his accusation of SPANISH CARD PSYCHIC READING inside of and abusing the Supreme Court Conference Room, the second highest tabernacle of the Temple of Justice. The subject of the card reading by Judge Floro is Marilyn Punos request for the Psychic Judge to predict the appointment (on December 9, 2006), as 22nd Chief Justice, of her brother, Acting Chief Justice Reynato PUNO. The latter suffered 2 setbacks and pains: disappointment to be appointed 21st Chief Justice and painful death of his spouse Atty. Luzviminda D. Puno on April 12, 2006, 6 days after the High Tribunal released the world famous PSYCHOSIS DWARF DECISION on April 6, 2006. The 3 mystic dwarfs jumped with joy when Narcisa Puno died in pain on April 25, 2007.

Pumayag ako, sa condition na may permiso muna sila kay Justice Reynato Puno (dahil Acting C.J. daw siya noon), at sa kondisyon na espiritual ang aking magiging payo, gagamitin ko ang mga Spanish Cards (pumayag sila kahit Mason at Methodista sila at ako naman ay Katolikong ex-seminarista). Kaya tinawagan ako ni Jasmin uli sa bahay, at naSET: HWEBES, 2nd week, 1:30 p.m.; 3 Sbarro Pizza, 2 Supreme, at Hawaian, halagang P 2,000 +/- (and coincidentally namang binili para sa akin ng aking kapatid, na nanduon pala sa Robinson, kaya, dinala ko na papunta kay Marilyn Santiago at Jasmin, kaysa iuwi). Ang nagdala po ay ang Sbarro delivery crew. Kinuha ng aide ko (NAME WITHELD FOR SECURITY REASONS) ang isa, at 5 +/- na S.C. security guards ang nanduong nakabantay sa labas at nakita kami at kinain nila ang 1, at ang 2 ay pinakain nina Jasmin at Marilyn sa staff ni Justice Puno. Akala ko po ay HULAAN ang gagawin namin, pero sabi ni Marilyn Puno Santiago (kapatid ni Justice PUNO) DERETSOHAN na raw: Judge, MAGIGING CHIEF JUSTICE ba kami? Nagpahula silang 2, natapos kami po ng mga 4:40pm. Hindi ko po alam kung ano ang BALAK nila sa akin naluko po ako, tinesting nila siguro kung talagang may mga spirit guides, dwende o ano ... Ang version nilang 2, wala raw sakit si Atty. Luz Puno, kumain lang daw ng gabi, nagsuka, at iyon po, namatay sa open heart surgery, ng 7:00 a.m. --- 15 hours after my last letter to you and 12 hours after I saw Bibing Solis... Capitol Estates Jasmin said: Judge hindi ka namin bibigyan ng pamasahe, pero MARILYN SAID: Makakaganti rin kami sa iyo!!! Based on my reading of her card, it seems that she is insincere but I do not know their AGENDA. The VIOLET LIGHTS of LUIS, my spirit guide flashed xxx. Atty. Luzviminda D. Puno (according to a source, had been experiencing chest pains a year ago). She had gone to doctors, contrary to Marilyns version. I told her that their office is CURSED: due to a SPELL, and KARMA, as Buddha taught).

WRONG MOVE or so UNKIND, was both of their / all personnels WEARING BLACK. NAGLUKSA sila, for Chief Justice Panganiban, days after the appointment. It signaled an OMEN: the death of Atty. Luz Puno and Narcisa Puno:164 Both Marilyn and Jasmin candidly told me that the vexation regarding the cellphone and landline office phones was allegedly committed by 2 persons. But they said that it seemed to have stopped last January. I frankly told them that I am not the President, and I could not at that time PREDICT who would be Chief Justice. I told them that I spontaneously predicted C.J. Davide, Jr.s appointment by announcing on November 13, 1998, before my Oath-taking before Justice Pardo, that Justice Josue Bellosillo will not become Chief Justice. I also told them that the TSISMIS, that I predicted C.J. Panganibans appointment: I told them that a supreme court guard asked me the day C.J. Panganiban was appointed: Judge, who will be the C.J.? I said: Yung magpapasok sa akin So, Nene and Vilma were there, and I was allowed to enter the receiving room and Vilma said that, I would be given appointment as soon as Justice Panganiban would not be busy. I TOLD VILMA THAT THE CODE OF CONDUCT PERMITS IT SINCE I DISMISSED ALL CASES AGAINST MY DETRACTORS, AND ALL I WANTED IS 5 MINUTES TO LET JUSTICE PANGANIBAN SEE FOR HIMSELF IF I AM PSYCHOTIC. Jasmin INSISTED THAT I SHOULD HELP THEM BY PRAYING. And I said that it depends upon Gods will, it is predestined.

Sirs/Mesdames: Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of this Court dated NOV. 14, 2006. For consideration are the Verified Complaint/LetterAffidavit dated August 25, 2006 and Verified Another/Supplemental Complaint/Letter-Affidavit (sic) dated September 1, 2006 filed by former Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. against two court personnel from the Office of Senior Associate Justice Reynato S. Puno of this Court. While this Court, in cases of this nature, would normally have proceeded to a statement of relevant facts and allegations, it bears noting early on that the complaint is couched in such obscure language as to render that task very difficult, if not impossible. Parenthetically, it may be recalled that, earlier this year, this Court, in Office of the Court Administrator v. Floro, relieved herein complainant of his duties as a trial judge. Cited among the grounds for his relief were complainant's unusual beliefs which were "at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system." Thus, this Court noted: Moreover, Judge Floro himself admitted that he believes in "psychic visions," of foreseeing the future because of his power in "psychic phenomenon." He believes in "duwendes" and of a covenant with his "dwarf friends Luis, Armand and Angel." He believes that he can write while on trance and that he had been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time. . . . (Emphasis supplied) Regrettably, the complaint displays vagueness of expression and want of logical thought that it may be described as bearing a trance-like character. Consider, inter alia, the following statement in the complaint: "Respondents Jasmin Mateo's and Marilyn Puno Santiago's formidable Lust for Power and Glory --brought them not to the Land of Fantasy.
275

Not to the Land, not to the Island of the Fairies, but to the Enchanted Kingdom of the 3 Mystic and Healing Dwarves --- They would try anything just to . . . They wanted to look inside the CRYSTAL BALL of Luis Armand and Angel[.]" (Underscoring, emphasis, and ellipsis in the original) The surreal frame in which the complaint was crafted is heightened by the several pictures, printed in full color, interspersed therein, none of which contributes to clearing the obscurity. In one page of the complaint, for instance, there are three pictures: two appear to be logos or seals bearing the Latin word "veritas," while the other seems to be a cover of a foreign religious comic book bearing the title "Veritas". While they almost fill up an entire page, the pictures appear to have no relevance other than complainant's mention of the word "veritas" somewhere in the complaint. Add to these pictures of clouds and flowers, icons of Mary and St. Peter, pictures of Mahatma Gandhi, Edu Manzano and Justice Sabino de Leon, the logo of a restaurant, a cartoon character, etc., and one would look at the complaint as more reminiscent of a dream-like stream of consciousness than a seriously drafted pleading for the Supreme Court, or any court of justice for that matter. To consider the complaint any further would only waste precious time which this Court can more fruitfully devote to cases of significance and more pressing urgency. The complaint must thus be dismissed outright. WHEREFORE, the Verified Complaint/LetterAffidavit dated August 25, 2006 and Verified Another/Supplemental Complaint/Letter-Affidavit dated September 1, 2006 are DISMISSED. Puno, J., no part. Very truly yours, Sgd.) MA. LUISA D. VILLARAMA, Clerk of Court166

Davides UN appointment hangs at CA

Initially set before Congress went on a recess last October, Davides assumption to the UN post yesterday was blocked in the powerful Commission on Appointments (CA) by former Sen. Francisco Tatad, lawyer Alan Paguia and dismissed Judge Florentino Floro. Floro showed up to protest his dismissal from the judiciary on account of his being a psychic who often consulted three dwarves. The ensuing discussion over Floros plight prompted Estrada to make a comment in jest that the one leading the nation is a dwarf.167

Estrada camp blocks Davides appointment

Those who questioned Davides appointment included former Senator Francisco Tatad, Estradas lawyer Alan Paguia, a certain Aurelio Arienda and former Judge Florentino Floro Jr. The confirmation proceedings took on a bizzare twist when Floro took the stand, opposing Davide for taking part in the high court decision that removed him from service after a suspension of seven years, as well as alleged corruption and ill-health. Floro said he is in constant contact with three dwarves, namely Luis, Armand and Angel who are world famous because they are in Google.168

Davide withstands grilling by Estrada allies in CA

SEEKING confirmation for the post of permanent Philippine representative to the United Nations, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr. yesterday faced stiff opposition in the Commission on Appointments from former allies of President Joseph Estrada as well as a judge who claims to be communicating with dwarfs. Dismissed Floro, who claimed he was still an incumbent judge of the Malabon Regional Trial Court even though he had been dismissed by the Supreme Court in March this year for psychological incapacity, blamed Davide for his suspension. Floro moved to defer Davides nomination for involvement in graft, which he said he had learned through Davides partner Filemon Fernandez, and from talking to dwarfs. He also claimed Davide was in poor health. When asked if he had any personal knowledge of Davides involvement in graft, he replied: He also cut the Bible. The angels appeared to me, and this is my spiritual belief. At the hearing, an amused Senator Juan Ponce Enrile asked him if he believed, saw and talked to dwarfs, Floro replied in the affirmative. [Ive seen] three. Luis, Armand and Angel, he said, drawing laughter from the legislative staff, guests and spectators. They are world famous because they are in Google. In fact they exist. The decision points to them. They were called dwarfs by our culture but they are really angels of God. They are angels, your honor, he added. They have only one mission: to clean the judiciary.
278

Those who are receiving bribes. Thats only my mission: to clean the judiciary and to heal the sick. Floro admitted believing in psychic visions to see the future because of his power in psychic phenomenon and confessed he had a covenant with his dwarf friends, and that he could write while in a trance. Davide denied the oppositors claims he committed graft and had poor health. Floro, he added, had been dismissed from the judiciary. Pink of health I can guarantee you, that at this time, I am in the pink of health. Probably even healthier than the oppositor, he said. Besides, the last pleading concentrates on the socalled three dwarves.I dont think the committee should entertain the appearance of dwarves and I cannot be compelled to answer the supposed performance of dwarves, he continued, eliciting chuckles from the spectators. In the end, the CA committee on foreign affairs, chaired by Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, decided to resume the questioning at the next session for lack of time. Malacaang nominated Davide as permanent representative to the UN in late March.169

SC rebuffs judge who consults with dwarfs

THE Supreme Court has junked with finality the disbarment case filed against former Chief Justice Hilario Davide Jr., former Supreme Court Justice Bernardo Pardo and nine others by a former judge who was suspended for consulting with dwarfs in making his rulings. In its resolution, the Supreme Court said Judge Florentino Floro Jr. failed to present substantial evidence to make it reconsider its September 20, 2006, resolution dismissing the disbarment case. Floro had accused Davide and the others of conspiring to suspend him for seven years. The other respondents were former Court of Appeals Justice Pedro Ramirez, former Court Administrator Alfredo Benipayo, former Supreme Public Information Office Chief Ismael Khan, Court Management Office Chief Thelma Bahia, Judge Benjamin Aquino Jr., and lawyers Teresita Cruz-Sison, Mary Jane Dacarra Buenaventura, Esmeralda GalangDizon and Mario Ongkiko. Floro was sacked after medical findings showed that he was suffering from psychosis, rendering him unfit to perform his judicial functions. The Court said Floros separation from service was not a penalty. It is imposed upon Judge Floro out of necessity due to a medically disabling condition of the mind which renders him unfit, at least at present, to continue discharging the functions of his office, it said. Floro admitted that dwarfs guided him in making decisions. He is opposing the confirmation of Davide as the Philippines permanent representative to the United Nations. Monday, April, 23 2007

SC Junks with Finality Disbarment Case against Ret. CJ Davide et al. Posted: January 18, 2007 By Jay B. Rempillo171 The Supreme Court has denied with finality the disbarment case filed against retired Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide, Jr., retired Supreme Court Justice Bernardo P. Pardo, and nine others by a Regional Trial Court Judge who had been separated from service due to a medically disabling condition. In a resolution, the Court said that former Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. of the Malabon City RTC Branch 73 failed to present any substantial argument to warrant a reconsideration of its September 20, 2006 resolution dismissing for lack of merit Floros disbarment complaint. Floro had accused Davide et al. of conspiring in, among others, the imposition of his preventive suspension for seven years. Also named as respondents were retired Court of Appeals Justice Pedro A. Ramirez, former Solicitor General Alfredo L. Benipayo, retired Assistant Court Administrator and SC Public Information Office Chief Atty. Ismael G. Khan, Jr, Court Management Office Chief Atty. Thelma C. Bahia, Judge Benjamin M. Aquino, Jr., and lawyers Teresita Cruz-Sison, Mary Jane Dacarra-Buenaventura, Esmeralda Galang-Dizon, and Mario E. Ongkiko. The Court also clarified that his separation from service did not carry with it forfeiture of all or part of his accrued benefits. It ruled that as a matter of equity, Judge Floro is entitled to back salaries, allowances and other economic benefits corresponding to three years.

He also likened himself to the angel of death who can inflict pain on people, especially upon those he perceived to be corrupt officials. During court sessions, Judge Floro wore blue robes except on Fridays when he wore black robes and a black outfit from head to foot allegedly to recharge his psychic powers. He also conducted healing sessions inside his chambers during break time. (Min. Res., Floro, Jr. v.

For those of you who haven't been born yet in 1985, this planet had had only Betamax and VHS videos vis-a-vis TV and Movies. About 1976 to 1989, Twitter, Facebook, Friendster, IMAX, optical discs, internet, YouTube never existed, and Philippine politics and culture were immersed in Betamax and VHS movie rentals and sales. For the average Filipinos who could afford, nuptials and baptism video coverage did cost $ 500 each with editing, while today, the video coverage business had almost died due to proliferation of cheap digicams and multi-media for video coverages, to the extent that today, video coverage of nuptials and mariages would cost only about $ 20 especially if students who have handycams would cover the events. Betamax (sometimes termed Beta) is an obsolete home videocassette tape recording format developed by Sony, and released on May 10, 1975. Camcorders: Sony used the Beta format to produce a one-piece camcorder for consumers the Betamovie. VHS manufacturers countered with the VHSC format, and Sony eventually introduced the Video-8 format to compete with the VHS-Compact format.
285

For more information, see the article on camcorders. Video Home System, better known by its abbreviation VHS, is a video tape recording standard developed during the 1970s. VHS was one-half of the famous VHS vs Betamax war. Betamax came beta, Japanese word describing the way signals recorded onto the tape, looked like Greek letter "Beta" (). The suffix -max came from "maximum" to suggest greatness. In later years, optical disc formats began to offer better quality than video tape, and took over in film studios, then retailers, and finally video rental stores. By 2006, most major film studios stopped releasing new movie titles in VHS format, opting for others such as DVD and Blu-ray. VHS was the winner of a protracted and somewhat bitter format war during the late 1970s and early 1980s against Sony's Betamax format. Betamax held an early lead in the format war but by 1981, U.S. Betamax sales had sunk to only 25% of all sales. In 1985 Sony of Japan introduced the Handycam, one of the first Video8 cameras with commercial success. Much smaller than the competition's VHS and Betamax video cameras, Video8 became very popular in the consumer camcorder market. On June 2009, or last month, I accidentally met Joy (Jatros photo line) a plane engineer who, with his father at Panasahan, Malolos City, Bulacan, Philippines, had invested lots of moneys on video transfer, editing and coverage materials and equipments since 1978. I showed them my dirty with white fungi 1985 1989 2001 Betamax-VHS-Video8 videocassettes, and for measly sums which they charged me, I was so amazed how they transferred my 1985 1989 2001 collection videocassettes from Betamax-VHS-Video8 to DVDVCD mpg format files for YouTube. I spent about weeks to upload and audioswap plus ANNOTATE these 60 videos, thusly: My collection 19851989 Game Fowl Farm, live Cockpits, 2000 Bustos Dam and 2001 Subic Bay videos used - a) maxell EPITAXIAL VIDEOCASSETTE, 150M Beta L-500RX[P], RX[PRO], Maxell Corporation of America, 60 Oxford D Ave., Moonachie, New Jersey 07074.

The Kingdom of LUIS, Armand and Angel in Osaka, Japan and Philippines, June 2, 1983 to May, 2009: Quarter of a Century: the Violet and White Lights https://acrobat.com/#d=6*cEFv9SQ8G-iTw6TfespQ LUIS (January 7, 1960), age 50, Armand (January 31), age 40, and Angel, age 32, are the Philippines mystic and healing dwarfs ("duendes"). As "King of kings" of elementals in the entire universe, LUIS solely possesses the ultimate and supreme "violet light" and other powers which no spirit guide ever had or acquired. These 3 holy angels of God appeared for the first time to Robert V. Floro, the 5th and youngest brother of Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. at 7:10 p.m., on June 2, 1983, at the backyard of the ancestral house and lot of Judge Floro, during the wake (ceremony) of Florentino C. Floro, Sr., age 79. The 3 dwarfs whispered to Robert, promising him a lifetime covenant, as his guardian angels: "Obet, we are LUIS, Armand and Angel, we will never forsake you!"

287

LUIS, Armand and Angel were born in Osaka, Japan, as the eldest, second and third children, respectively of seamster and seamstress, dressmakers, tailors, garment workers, dwarves king Ben, age 70, and queen Luisa, age 65. The other siblings or relatives are Larry, Luisa and the youngest, Maria, who all reside in Osaka, Japan. Their cousins are Benjamin (Benny) and Estelita. LUIS, Armand and Angel finished elementary education at Osaka Japan Elementary School. They never studied thereafter since they are the richest in the entire universe, living at the Osaka Kingdom in extreme wealth. LUIS, Armand and Angel had chosen Robert as their sole ward as spirit guides, since they discerned that "Robert is a good boy." LUIS, Armand and Angel had chosen Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. as their sole instrument and friend under dalliance or sacred covenant on March 1, 1996, First Friday, at 6:00 a.m. because, he is poor, that is, jobless, has no work or trabajo and occupation. It is because of Floros sufferings due to a pretend world, that he was able to penetrate the barrier of LUIS 7th plane Kingdom per the Violet lights. On or about December, 1983, Judge Floro's mother Milagros Velasquez Floro had experienced many unexplained illnesses, prompting Judge Floro to seek the help of the Philippines' best doctors including Col. Miguel Cornejo, Jr., who availed of advanced and experimental geriatric medicines (like pancreanexin, a $ 20 per ampule extract from pancreas of live sheeps). Because of medical failures, Judge Floro, who was and is a pure scientist and skeptic, had no choice but to consult Filipino faith healers Mang Polding and Mang Andres, of Balanga, Bataan. After using pure water plus prayers, these healers cured Milagros of black dwarf possession. http://lib1000.dlsu.edu.ph/record=b1257208 April 7, 1984 - Birthday of Angel: Judge Floro placed 12th in 1983 Bar Exams, 87.55%:::: April 7, 2006, Birthday of Angel: Judge Floro and the 3 mystic dwarves became world-famous, immortal in history

288

On or about January, 1984, while waiting for the results of his Bar Exams, Judge Floro had visited more than 40 psychics and healers from Bulacan, Cavite and Bataan. During his travels, Judge Floro had been interested in treasure hunting. LUIS, Armand and Angel had informed Robert that there was a hidden treasure at Calvario, Meycauayan, Bulacan. Judge Floro, as pure skeptic, however, challenged Robert to submit proof that these dwarves existed. Parenthetically, Judge Floro and his classmates were told by their Ateneo de Manila University professor (in Psychology of Education and Statistics), Fr. Candelaria, S.J., that Fr. Jaime Bulatao, S.J. (the father of Philippine psychology and Chair of the Ateneo psychology department) had regularly fed his dwarf "Dwendeling."174 Hidden Treasure, 1984, and Breeding of Fighting Cocks, 1985-1990: the Violet lights of LUIS On or about November, 1984, Judge Floro again challenged LUIS to produce money so that the former could begin digging the treasure. LUIS told Robert that Judge Floro would obtain the money from fighting cocks per bets. Judge Floro therefore bought fighting cocks. The first cock named "Hagibis" won but Judge Floro earned only P 1,100. The same cock was entered in the Meycauayan Cockpit derby where it was badly injured, with both legs cut down on the arena.

But due to LUIS' violet lights, the other cock run so terrified, as if it had seen ghosts and the entire gambling crowd got surprised by the miracle. Judge Floro thereafter went to the Paranaque Cockpit and won 13 straight bets, during a derby. With the money, Judge Floro bought a Cortan incubator and he bred fighting cocks. LUIS had flashed the violet lights so that Robert could select the golden hen (from Danny Escalona's Antipolo, Rizal farm) which could produce the best fighting cocks. Under the name "Grey and Blue", Judge Floro made Philippine cockfighting history, by entering 6 to 7 months stags in big time derbies, who became champions. His six 6 months stags won straight at the Marilao Cockpit arena, while his 7 months stag won under "Kumander Fatola" at Obando Cockpit Arena 3-cock derby. Judge Floro's cocks stunned the Bulacan cockpits afficionados with stag wins in derbies from 1984 until March, 1990. Judge Floro's bull stags (10 months old cocks) became champions in many Bulacan derbies including at the opening of the Edwin Coliseum in San Jose Del Monte and in Malolos Cockpit. Meanwhile, after winning some P 21,000 in bets, Judge Floro in 1984 bought a water pump and dug about 17 meters. Thereafter, Floro obtained the treasure's key and had touched the upper part of the treasure chest. But LUIS did not allow Judge Floro to get the treasure, as foretold in the March 1, 1996 dalliance. Thus, during a First Friday on November, 1984, with a full moon as witness, Judge Floro used incense with holy water and asked LUIS to instead show him the treasure at the wink of an eye or split second. LUIS, however refused, but Judge Floro bargained, appealing that LUIS instead should permit his instrument see the lights, IN TIME. Judge Floro had fervently begged LUIS, to instead bestow upon his instrument the gift of seeing LUIS face to face (including Armand and Angel) IN TIME. LUIS granted Judge Floro's bargains and promised every Christmas, since 1984, that Judge Floro would one day see the lights and further predicted that these 3 holy angels would appear to him IN TIME.

Fr. Jaime Bulatao, S.J., Ateneo de Manila University, 1984 mental and parapsychological tests Filled with anxiety, skeptic Judge Floro put LUIS to a final test amid all these signs. In 1984, he brought Robert to Fr. Jaime Bulatao, S.J. At the Ateneo de Manila University psychology department, Fr. "Bu" conducted several mental and paranormal tests upon Robert. First, Fr. Bu asked Robert to point the exact place where Fr. Bu's Dwendeling, a lady dwarf, resides. Robert had seen and pointed to dwendeling inside a Mompo Mass wine glass. After Fr. Bu failed to see LUIS and Armand, he asked the permission of LUIS and Armand to allow Robert to write their dwarves' names. But Robert (as mild retarded, born on January 26, 1966, and was studying at the Cupertino School for Special Children), could not possibly write the names. Amazing, however: like an expert calligrapher, Robert did write the names of LUIS and Armand in extreme artistic fashion; this stunning evidence of the highest character had forced Judge Floro to be greedy of the treasure. After the tests, Judge Floro pleaded to Fr. Bu regarding the results of the tests. Fr. Bu denied Judge Floro's request and said: "It is subjectively objectively true!" as reply to Judge Floro's question of whether LUIS, Armand and Angel are real and do exist. Eye grades, and pulse/heart rates On April, 2009, Judge plummeted to a world record of: Floro's eye grades had

O.D. = -.25 - .25 astigmatism (myopia) O.S. = -.75 - .50 astigmatism (myopia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopia Eye experts (optometrists and ophthalmologists) would confirm that there is no existing medical case or record where the progressive lens had been like Judge Floro's.

291

In 2009, his right eye is almost so clear as a baby's, since a person with -.25 myopia is not recommended to wear lens or eyeglasses. When the April 7, 2006 Court decision of his separation from judicial service due to dwarf consultation was released, his eye grades were the same as in 1992 = -.175/-.125. The same world record was created when Judge Floro's eye grades plummeted from -.325/-.250 (1965 to 1992) to -.175/-.125. (1992). Judge Floro's heart and pulse rate skyrocketed to 120 during Sundays in 1992, and averaged at 100 at times. Heart rate (HR) is a measure of the number of heart beats per minute (bpm). The average resting human heart rate is about 70 bpm for adult males and 75 bpm for adult females.

Judge Floro used Super brood cocks - a) Rising Sun, 7 seconds winner at San Juan Coliseum P 1 million Derby, 1987, from Otic Geroso, b) Masada, Tony Lagtapon's unscratched winner of P 2 million SJC Derby, 1987, and c) Joker of gaffer Emong, unscratched winner of Araneta Coliseum 8 cock International derby. Judge Floro made world records of winning at Marilao, Obando, Meycauayan, Malolos, San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan Cockpit Derbies using 6-7 months stags (later, 1012 months bull stags) champions against 2-3 years-old game fowls. LUIS' Violet lights from his Bonito or dwarf hat is the cause of Judge Floro's Philippine record of winning in derbies using 6 months untrained stags. Floro never used a trainer; he aimed to breed Super Game Fowls that can cut, kill and annihilate, in big time derbies when matured to 2 years. Judge Floro's last derby fight was on March 15, 1990. He sold all his game fowls due to bitter family feuds in 1990.

In the 2nd derby fight of the 3-cock Malolos Cockpit derby, 1990, another rarest-youngest 10 months super game fowl made its RECORD ULTRA FAST KILL, 23.02 seconds as 2nd derby champion entry. No Philippine breeder ever duplicated Floro's HISTORICAL 2 times Kaskas or DERBY WINS by 10 months stag in just one derby night, with identical times.

In the ULTRA-FAST 23.09 seconds, 2nd WIN of "Kaskas"- Floro's 10 months old game fowl WON in same night, amid its 23.69 seconds RECORD in its first win. This is WORLD RECORD - 23.69 seconds, 23.02 & 23.09 ULTRA-FAST derby champions KILLS using ONLY 2 10 months STAGS: 3 WINS in 1 night. No gamecock breeder in the world had ever duplicated J Floro's RECORD breeding 6 months UNTRAINED game fowl derby champions. In the 1986 biggest Philippine P 500,000 National Grand Derby, Paranaque Cockpit, Judge Floro's 8 months scored a draw. Judge Floro's prized Miners Blue were sired by Danny Esalonas "BONANZA" hen-cock; Judge Floro's Miners Blues had 100% winning record. At Obando Cockpit Judge Floro made Philippine-world records, using a 6 months stag 1987 derby champion versus 2 years-olds. At Marilao Cockpit Judge Floro made Philippine-world records, using six 6 months, 3 1987 derby champions versus 2 years-olds. Judge Floro's game fowl entry emerged solo champion in December 8, 1987 Marilao Cockpit Big Time Derby, using 8 months stags versus 2 year olds. Judge Floro's 3 entries or six 10 months stags were February 24, 1989 Malolos Highway Cockpit RECORD champions. Cockfighting is illegal in every US state, District of Columbia, but the penalties for the crime vary by state. 50 US states & District of Columbia are ranked in tiers, on whether they consider 4 offenses a felony, misdemeanor or legal * cockfighting itself * being a spectator of cockfighting * possession of fighting cocks or weapons are felonies. 2007 US Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act penalizes, $250,000 fine, cockfighting implements' transfer across state/national borders. American breeders supply most, best fighting roosters; about 30 American cockfighters regularly fight their birds in the Philippines. Cockfighting is legal in the Philippines, Mexico, parts or all of 5 U.S. states Arizona, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma. Matches also can be found in Ireland, Colombia, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Estimates of the number of roosters fought - and killed each year in the Philippines range from 7 million to 13 million.
297

Poor Filipinos use cheaper native birds, imported "trios" - a rooster & 2 hens for breeding - go for $1,300 to $2,500. Since cockfighting was introduced, 16th century by Spanish colonizers, it became Philippines' most popular spectator sport. Honorable Chief Thieves in Philippine government regularly bet $ 5,000 to & $ 20,000 per cock/single fight amid CORRUPTION. Philippines won the number 1 slot in most corrupt in Asia per 2008-9 PERC survey. Top government officials heavily bet stolen moneys in cockfights. Judge Floro witnessed municipal accountants, Bureau of Internal Revenue and DPWH/court personnel as regular horse race/cockpit bettors, in Bulacan. These corrupt government officials earn measly sums & stole millions of government cash, being addicts to cockfights/horse race betting. These corrupt government officials, their loved ones end up in ICU's of state-of-the arts hospitals, slowly dying in PAIN. In a single racing day, corrupt government officials in Bulacan bet $ 2,000 to $ 4,000 in horse race off-tracks. After horse racing hours, these corrupt government officials transfer to cockpits to bet huge sums of stolen moneys. But poor Filipino/Bulacan bettors addicted to cockfights/horse racing bet $ 1 to $ 2 per day, using their food allowances. Sociologist Dr. Ricardo Abad: "It's a game of chance, Filipinos believe in chance, luck, getting money, miracles, a romantic notion of life." Blue-Violet is the COLOR of LUIS (form his Bonito or dwarf hat). He and Judge Floro are mere servants-members of Marys Army, as the Blue Madonna, Mother of Christ and Protector of the Holy Eucharist. This is a living proof that LUIS' violet light is the source and cause of breeding super game fowls. LUIS' violet light and powers enthroned him as King of kings of all spirit guides-elementals in the universe.

Floro, through LUIS' ultimate-sole VIOLET, white lights, is the only immortal, who first traveled to the 7th planedimension LUIS, Armand & Angels Osaka, Japan Kingdom, as their sole instrument, as holy angels of God, but mere servants and members of Mary's Army, and of the Eucharist. Angat River development started with 1926 Bustos Dam construction for irrigating 27,000 hectares of riceland in Lower Angat River Basin, Pampanga River Delta. Bustos Dam is the huge reservoir of Angat Hy-droelectric Plant at Barrio Hilltop, Bustos, Bulacan, Philipines, Asia. "Here at Bustos dam, I had been offering foods to the 3 dwarves, Fridays after office hours, to remember them. They had promised to protect me and take vengeance versus my enemies, the Supreme Court Justices, etc. in their own harsh ways. I had written here, at Bustos Dam, all my prophecies against my corrupt detractors, to annihilate them. The 3 mystic dwarves chose me of billions, to be their sole instrument, not only to prophecy but to heal the poor. Healing is the highest gift amid varied forms of powers like bending spoons, guessing lotto numbers ..." Judge Floro started offering foods to LUIS, Armand & Angel every Fridays (12 noon-4pm), here, at Bustos Dam from 1992 to 2000. Floro would start here Fridays 1992 to 2000 food offerings to LUIS, by lighting candles to burn the corrupt Courts. In this Bustos dam panoramic view, thousands of tourists flock since 1922. Every year since 1960, a male would drown amid testimonies that mermaids here, were responsible. Judge Floro's golden-turned (June 2, 1999)gifted palms annihilate per LUIS' violet lights the Honorable Thieves, Justices, Judges, his enemies. Judge Floro's religious 1992-2000 Fridays food offerings to LUIS, burning candles, 12 noon-4pm here, effected LUIS' 5 mystic court fires. Judge Floro perpetually did PUT a STAIN in their bloods, up to the 4th generation, under Psalms 109, 73, and other biblical curses. Mr. Larry (Lazaro) Domingo, of Sto. Christo, Baliuag, Bulacan, age 84 in 2010, is the video photographer of this CURSE-prophecy video. He worked for 12 years in Japan.

"For me, there is still a TRIBUNAL, above, the heavenly Court. My 3 mystic dwarves, LUIS, Armand & Angel already formed their own Dwarf Court, which is not a kangaroo Tribunal. The 3 dwarves wrote their En Banc Court Judgment (December 5 & 31, 2000), finding GUILTY all my detractors. The 3 holy dwarves investigated my case, as I ascended with my brother Robert to the Supreme Court Justices' chambers. The dwarves sealed with 4 nails and X's all Supreme Court Justices' doors and chambers. They reviewed my records, and these 3 annihilator dwarves on December 5 and 8, 2999 rendered a final verdict: slow, painful and horrible deaths, dire illnesses, pains, accidents and bad luck or misfortunes versus Judge Floro's enemies." Parts 1 to 18: Equestrian Judge Florentino Floro SBMA El Kabayo Riding Stables 2001 Dire Prophecy March 8, 2001 Equestrian Judge Floro on March 8, 2001 published his 2001 Dire Prophecy at Asia's most powerful-beautifulscenic Subic Bay Equestrian Center and Riding Field (Subic Bay Equestrian Center Membership Club, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, SBF, Olongapo City) surrounded by virgin and rain forests and wildlife. On April 2001, Judge Floro submitted to the Supreme Court this VHS videocassette Book-Video as Annex of the Motion to Lift cursed July 20, 1999 Suspension. Equestrianism refers to the skill of riding or driving horses. This broad description includes both use of horses for practical, working purposes as well as recreational activities and competitive sports. Horses first were ridden 4,500 BC. or even 6,000 years ago, near Dneiper River & Don River, people were using bits on horses. Chariot burials were about 2,500 BC, chariot warfare and horses lived in North America, but died out at the end of the Ice Age. Horses were brought back to North America by European explorers, beginning with the second voyage of Columbus in 1493. But the common sobriquet for Thoroughbred horse racing is The Sport of Kings; horse racing is supreme over all horse sports.
301

In the United States each year 30 million people ride horses, resulting in 50,000 emergency room visits (1 visit per 600 riders per year). In Canada, a 10-year study of trauma center patients injured while riding reported 48% suffered head injuries, only 9% of riders wore helmets. Other injuries involved the chest (54%), abdomen (22%), and extremities (17%).

Judge Floro is Regional Trial Court Judge of Branch 73, Malabon-Navotas, Metro Manila on November 4/5, 1998. Floro recited the Imprecatory Psalms CURSING all of his enemies, detractors, persecutors, the Philippine Judiciary, Supreme Court Justices, Judges and nemesis.

Floro's 3 pm to midnight daily, Fridays CURSES since 1992 to 2010 with LUIS' VIOLET lights SUCCESSFULLY targeted his enemies, Justices.

Floro religiously did don all-black clothes Fridays since 1992 to mourn his enemies' misfortunes, painful-horrible deaths, pains, accidents and illnesses. Note Bene (Good Note) Judge Floro took pains in retrieving, downloading this collection-vintage-antique videos from his personal cabinet. Lest he be accused of inventing the violet lights and the mystic Kingdom of LUIS, Armand and Angel at Osaka, Japan, these videos eternally prove the mystic and virtual reality. As lawyer and judge, Floro had the 1985 foresight that someday, these videos would be EVIDENCE of the highest character of the existence and high tech 7th planedimension of the 3 magical dwarves' world and castles. NOT ONLY THAT, of course. Floro values the POWER and MAGIC of YouTube vis-a-vis street rallies, demonstrations, political noises, Court cases, facebook, twitter, friendster, etc. media to SAY and DO what one would ... In 1985 and even 2001, Floro thought that he could safely keep his treasures-videos. But he was not quite right, since fungi ate them, and he lost the 2nd Part of the Bustos Dam 2001 prophecy. More than that, he lately discovered that even VCD or optical discs and DVD are superior to Betamax and VHS even if the latter is higher in definition and resolution than VCDs. Still, VCDsDVDs could be burned, lost and scratched. Hence, Floro found the MAGIC of YouTube and other internet video hosting. Floro could SPEAK out to the world. Some Filipinos got angry when Floro published this YouTube speak out thing. Many students, professionals and even Chief Justices upload their things in YouTube. But they fail. No one except their cats and dogs would view them, but pigs and swines do not know how to play YouTube videos. That's their problem. So, Philippines Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban uploaded 114 clear premium paid videos but he got only 14 views more or less, because, his teeth are protruding and he is as HANDSOME as Prophet Judge Floro. Evidence? Here: http://www.youtube.com/user/avpcj#p/u

More importantly, this Chief Justice did violate Floros copyright, claiming he is only 46 years old, when he is already 74 and has little time left in this planet, according to Floros 3 dwarves, since Floro was 45 when appointed Judge. 26 YouTube Philippines TV Documentaries Videos, 19992010 of Judge Florentino Floro Just type judge floro or judge florentino floro in the upper search engine of YouTube, click and view his YouTube TV Videos 1.

San Juanico Bridge, Phlippines: 1998 - 12 Noon Good Friday At exactly 12:00 noon of Good Friday, April, 1998, at the 2nd longest bridge in Asia, (the historical San Juanico Bridge that connects Samar and Leyte) Judge Floro prophesied in writing the downfall of the 13th unlucky President Joseph Ejercito Estrada (who would emerge winner by landslide votes - on the May, 1998 Elections). On June 30, 1998, Erap took his Oath as the 13th President of the Philippines at the landmark site - Barasoain Church, Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines at 12 noon. Judge Floro reitereated the dire prophesy and ... The OMEN: Shortly thereafter, the biggest chandelier of the Palace fell about 1:40 p.m. On December 9, 1998, Judge Floro took his ceremonial oath before the 13th unlucky President. The psychic Judge published the written prophecy at the lower portion of the framed picture of the oath taking, at the center of his court room sala, Br. 73, Regional Trial Court, Malabon/Navotas, Metro Manila, Philippines, on December 20, 1998. The purpose: as offensive prediction versus the Malabon and National Politicians' desperate attempt to replace the Psychic Judge with their candidate, Fiscal Rosa Reyes. On December 2, 1999, the Manila Bulletin (front page and page 8) belatedly predicted also the downfall of Erap: The highly funded US Firm Strategic Forecasting, Inc. based in Austin Texas predicted in its report (dated November 22) that "Philippine President's days are numbered". On January, 2000, the Nostradamus of Asia, Philippine renowned Psychic Jojo Acuin appeared on T.V. and wrote in his 2001 Predictions Magazine, that President Estrada would finish his term. Acuin died of diabetes and pneumonia on April 29, 2010.176

On January 20, 2001 at 12:25 noon, Vice President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo was sworn as the Acting President as Erap left the Palace. She was catapulted to power by a 3 day people power revolution at EDSA. The Supreme Court Testimony of Judge Floro on October 10, 2000: Acting Investigator (Ret.) Justice Romulo S. Quimbo tested the 3 mystic dwarves power to prophecy the fate of Erap: COURT: Justice R.S. Quimbo Incidentally, what have you learned from your gabays? Will the President (Estrada) be impeached? JUDGE FLORO; This year your Honor, he wil remain. But next year (2001) or before his term xxx he will not finish his term, xxx What I do predict or have heard is that this hyear, he will stay. But next year its questionable.xxx.177 [TSN dated 10 October 2000, 2:00 p.m.] Day 4: January 20, 2001 At noon, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo takes her oath of office in the presence of the crowd at EDSA, becoming the 14th president of the Philippines. At 2:00 pm, Estrada releases a letter saying he had "strong and serious doubts about the legality and constitutionality of her proclamation as president", but saying he would give up his office to avoid being an obstacle to healing the nation.

Later, Estrada and his family leave Malacaang Palace, smiling and waving to reporters and shaking hands with the remaining members of his Cabinet and other palace employees. He was placed under house arrest and eventually confined to his rest home in Sampaloc, a small village in Tanay, Rizal.178

The Spirit World As Dealt With By Science And Law - James Donahue's Stories

Encroachment?
By James Donahue - October 2006 Because my family is deep into esoteric interests and we live among the spirits that roam a haunted old Victorian house, we find it laughable when we occasionally read about the way science and the courts struggle to deal with matters of ghosts, goblins and other elements of the invisible world. A recent news story involves Filipino Judge Floro Florentino who was dismissed from the bench because of his ongoing relationship with three invisible dwarf spirit guides. The judge lost an appeal to keep his job. The Supreme Courts ruling stated that Florentinos insistence that the dwarf guides, Luis, Armand and Angel, proved that he has a medically disabling condition of the mind that renders him unfit to discharge the functions of his office.

Now Judge Florentino has countered by filing a disbarment case against members of that high court. In this case, filed in a country where a widespread belief in spiritual forces exists, the judge apparently tends to try to prove the existence of the spirit world and accuse the tribunal of slandering his good name. We wish Florentino well in this matter. While we do not know all of the details of this case, or whether the man may, indeed, be deranged and allowing imaginary friends to assist in his decisions on the court bench, we support his claims that a spirit world exists around us. We also agree that these entities have more of an influence on our daily thoughts and actions than most folks would like to admit. Yet without the technology only now being developed by Prophet and Psychic Aaron C. Donahue to not only evoke these spirits, but capture clear photographic evidence of them, Judge Florentino may have a hard time convincing any court that things invisible to us in our dark three-dimensional world really exist.179 James L. Donahue is a retired newspaper reporter, editor and columnist with more than 40 years of experience in professional writing. He is the published author of five books, all dealing with Michigan history, several magazine articles, and he has two other books in production. He currently produces an estimated five articles weekly for this web site. Jim and his wife spent three years in Arizona, from 1996 to 1999, where they studied the beliefs and ways of the American Indian tribes of the Southwest. They spent a winter living with a Navajo medicine man and his wife near the Four Corners of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah.

In 1990, Donahue created Anchor Publications, and became the publisher of his own book, Steaming Through Smoke and Fire 1871. Donahue's most recent work involves explorations in the esoteric realm, and studies of right brain functioning. He is completing an extensive study of Liber AL vel Legis, an occult document more commonly identified as The Book of the Law. It was reportedly dictated to Aleister Crowley by a shadowy visitor from the past identified as Aiwass in 1904. The contemporary work by Donahue, the first complete examination of Liber Legis since Crowley's nearly a century ago, is offered for public reading on this web site. Contact: [email protected] DWARVES TELL THE TALE Aug. 24, 2006: Shreridan: Con-Law, Constitutional Law, its all around you Poor Judge Floro, who enjoyed the company of little friends of the mind. He got sacked by the Philippine Supreme Court, on grounds of mental illness, inability to function rationally, and psychosis, according to the Court's news release. The dwarves were the least of the problems. I'm sorry for Judge Floro who was kind enough to respond to queries. His posture aboard an equine shows considerable ability. Apart from the imaginary helpers, there's just something about all sorts of different styles.Then there's the reasoning and reliance on unusual sources of authority.. Mabuhay! The Filipino judge, Florentino Floro, Jr., who obtains spiritual and perhaps legal comfort from consulting with dwarves has been kind enough to post a comment, below. I've replied asking to know more about the dwarves, and am awaiting a reply.
322

Apparently the dwarf story has captured the attention of the world, the legal world, at any rate, as we all wonder what, exactly, is wrong with consulting with dwarfs, or dwarves, which might be the more traditional spelling. Judge Floro has posted some of the commentary his story has generated onto a web site, here, as the story proceeds. Pres. McKinley described to a group of Christian church ladies how he decided to make war on Spain and seize the Philippines in 1898. He fell to his knees in prayer, he said, and decided that the Filipinos needed to be Christianized. Oh, what a good idea. Let's have a war to Christianize the Filipinos. That's almost as good as making war on Iraq in order to Muslimize the Iraqis. I've asked Judge Floro to describe whether one is in charge of Justice, another to help sort out conflicting facts, and another, say, Morality. I've also asked whether he has any lady dwarves. If it were me, I'd have a few lady dwarves, wouldn't you? For inspiration? A cute one? But I'm not a judge, alas, and no dwarves have been issued to me. Judge Floro's kind reply, since received, is posted on the continuation below. The Tagalog word for the spirit creatures is duende, which some have translated as 'dwarf.' The judge states that he has a retarded brother who apparently sees these duende, and it appears that Judge Floro has sympathetically adopted them for his own benefit and comfort. So far, I don't see this as being much different than saying one believes in God, angels, the devil, or all the usual things we profess all the time, those of us who profess, that is. Have you ever heard of a dwarf, or a duende, urging you on to war? I don't think so. Is a person who believes in God sane? Of course.
323

We exclude from the definition of insanity a normal belief in God, because, I surmise, there are so many supposedly sane bankers and business leaders who say they believe in God. Do you believe that they really do? Not for me to say. What, exactly, is wrong with believing in benign duende? Or dwarves? Or dwarfs. Why don't we issue dwarves to our judges? Aren't we as good as the Filipinos? Didn't we raise an educational system on our model, apart from the university system they've had in place since before we heard of the Philippines? Don't they have religious freedom in the Philippines? Freedom of conscience? I think they must have. We owned them. We left them our tax code. Didn't we leave them our First Amendment? I bet we did. I don't know whether they use it very much, but they did get rid of Ferdinand Marcos in a democratic exercise of the first order. Cor-ee!... Coree!... Cor-ee!... I remember the battle cry for democracy in Philippines, for Cory Aquino, widow of assassinated Benigno Aquino, as he exited the liner bringing him home from exile to campaign for presidency. the the jetthe

Shot on the tarmac, surrounded by Marcos's soldiers. I think issuing dwarves to our judges might represent an improvement, don't you? Haven't you ever appeared before a judge and wondered where, exactly, s/he was getting some of those ideas? We could have federal and state dwarves. Maybe attorneys could get dwarves, too, to avoid the secretarial hassle. Who referred you that case, people sometimes ask. My dwarves, thank you, I would like to say.Wouldn't that be nice.
324

It can be tough being a judge, having to wade through all those inconvenient facts, "He said, She said," this one contradicts that one, and when you decide you anger not only the losing party but his whole family, and the winner doesn't say thank you because he thought he had it coming and why didn't you do more for him? Why try to sort through such a mess when all you have to do is to consult your own pet dwarfs? Let them decide. Everything becomes so much clearer. Decisions are made quicker. And they are as correct as if you weighed this, weighed that, and claimed to have made a rational decision. Who would know the difference? As long as you don't mention their names. A judge in the Philippines, to the great credit of his sense of honesty, seems to have admitted he consulted dwarfs, Armand, Luis, and Angel, and good for him, I say. Our judges never admit it. Nancy Reagan consulted her astrologer. Lord knows who they talk to in the White House these days, certainly not me. Here's the report from the Washington Post:

Psychotic Filipino Judge Fired

On Friday, the Philippine Supreme Court upheld its termination of Judge Florentino Floro, finding him mentally unfit for the job. Floro, who had presided over a suburban Manila court until March 31st, claimed to conduct healing sessions in chambers with his imaginary dwarf friends, Armand, Luis, and Angel. He also told investigators evaluating his mental state that he could read the future, be in two different places at the same time, and "recharge his psychic powers" by switching his blue judicial robe to black on Fridays.
325

Despite his contention that his personal beliefs had no bearing on his office, the Supreme Court felt they might "erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the rational guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule." It's hard to believe you can be fired for this, but the Philippines is even stranger than San Francisco sometimes. Let's see, blue robes during the week, black robes on Friday? Is that like not stepping on a crack that'll break your back? Always stepping on the first base bag when headed for the outfield? Always wearing your lucky mitt? Same bat? I have a friend who sees the world in Manichean terms of good-evil, black-white, no shades of gray. Everyone who agrees with him is okay. Everyone who doesn't is a Commie-Pinko-Liberal. He takes pride in not having changed his opinion since the sixth-grade. "At least I'm consistent," he alleges. See Judge Floros reply, below: Reply from Judge Floro: Actually, I consult Luis, through my mild retarded brother Robert, who can see them, since he is that innocent, unlike us normal persons; I only receive visions of lights and spiritual dreams when I ask them guidance: example - before the day of release of the decision, April 7, I saw a white fighting cock who won and wounded, while another man has rotten spinal cord (this is Justice Corona who was operated twice and did make this case as REVENGE). I know spanish card reading, but I do not practice this, since this is a GIFT; my hands could properly determine through these cards the moral guidance; I do not believe that judges in your place could consult white dwarves, for that is ANATHEMA to good and God, maybe they consult black and evil dwarves.

326

But since I first knew them June 2, 1983, it was only in March 1, 1996 that they completely DWELT in my own soul and body, 24 hours a day this is the trance I call; meaning, never a second that they are out of my body; this IS THE COVENANT THAT THE DECISION AND BBC said DALLIANCE, meaning Luis told me that if I just whistle LUIS, 3x, even I do not need him, he would be instantaneously be with me directly - it was only twice or thrice, midnights in these long years from 1983 - now, that Luis and Armand had shown themselves to me in VISIONS, Luis - on a white rock, with blue clothes and I said - why only now, and he replied, coz you are afraid MEANING therefore, that I could not yet be endowed with his most powerful light, so GRADUAL, in TIME Armand - I saw as the most loveable handsome 7 years boy. So, they appear only by lights to me ---- Why? They are ones of the highest ANGELS of the 9 choirs that God created so divine and powerful yet so loveable, FRIENDS WORTH DYING FOR, I had not yet seen ANGEL, but in 1996 Luis promised me --- that I and these 3 would be known worldwide - this happened on APRIL 7, when on ANGEL's birthday, THE WORLD WIRES AND REPORTS BLOGS immortalized us 4 in world judicial history as MARTYRS of PHILIPPINE JUSTICE I often see them only by flashing violet and white lights, the HIGHEST in the world, for which reason, I claim that LUIS is the KING OF KINGS of elementals. Now, they are not justice dwarves: why, everybody in Ireland and Iceland, almost all believe in elves, leprechauns, gnomes - but there are so many kinds of elementals, -- Paracelsus - (look in google) well respected doctor of medicine 16th cent. said that there are 4 elementals - fire, air, water, earth.
327

They are like the vulcans, fairies, mermaids and gnomes or dwarves, respectively - LUIS is the KING of KINGS of all the 4 elementals because he is endowed with the highest GIFT of the LIGHTS, violet and white the highest so far that ALLOW TIME TRAVEL, BILOCATION, EXORCISM, HEALING AND PROPHECY - They have only one MISSION TO DO GOOD BY FIGHTING THE BLACKS - EVIL specifically, the CORRUPTION bribery in our judiciary by inflicting illnesses upon incumbent justices. I really did not consult these 3 spirit guides, Luis, Angel and Armand, in decision making; Admitted exhibits 1-39 especially my 800 pages rulings for the 5 months period, never mentioned any psi except 2 words psychic phenomena they used to pin me down. I applied American jurisprudence and laws to the facts I found at trials. Best proof is that I never knew the PONENTE since my guides kept this secret, until J. Gutierez told me on Sept. 2005.180 Robert Sheridan is a California attorney whose office is in San Francisco, California.

Tom G. Palmer September 8, 2006 The Rule of ... Mystic Dwarves Armand, Luis and Angel? The Philippine judge who was dismissed for allegedly consulting mystic dwarves during healing sessions in his chambers has posted a defense on Dave Barrys website. In his response (scroll down to find the item signed Judge Floro), the good Judge notes that he didnt actually cite the dwarves in any legal decision. Whew. .TRUTH: I never used the word DWARVES in any DECISION, and I never consulted any imaginary dwarf to pen my decisions; my detractors submitted these false evidence or lies to replace me with their political candidate; what I do believe in is: a) in the so-called (my) SPIRIT GUIDES or PROTECTORS:

LUIS, is the KING OF ALL KINGS of ELEMENTALS/spirits worldwide (I opine due to his lights, violet and white); and b) he is GODs ANGEL (Genesis, Exodus, etc.) - what St. Paul teaches: Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Prophecy and Spiritual Healing. I am GIFTED; I never tried to develop my psychic powers, since these are Gods GIFTs to me - TO HEAL and TO PROPHESY. Ohhhh-kaaayyy.181 Tom G.

He also held healing sessions in his chambers and claimed he was so powerful he could perform his duties, including writing, while in a trance. His mental problems, for now, appear to render him unfit for the delicate task of dispensing justice, not because of any acts of corruption and debasement on his part, but clearly due to a medically disabling condition, the Supreme Court said in its decision. Although I have heard of stories where people are able to do feats described above, they still seem beyond the realm of my possibility. Still, if he can actually do what he says he does, it's pretty amazing. Too bad he's out of a job, but if he's really able to be in two places at once, that's probably the least of his worries. 183

WTF???: Judge in Philipines Sacked for Consulting "Mystic Dwarves" - Nicklas Johnson - A judge in Manila, Philipines, was fired from his position after admitting to consulting imaginary "mystic dwarves" during breaks. Posted by flabbergasted Vulgar V on May 05, 2006. A judge in Manila, Philipines, was fired from his position after admitting to consulting imaginary "mystic dwarves" during breaks. If anyone remembers a story from last year about Jeb Bush's imaginary friend Chang, and those who remember thought the story was a pip, this should be right up your alley: A judge in the Philipines who claims he can see into the future and consults with "mystic dwarves" has been fired by the country's Supreme Court and fined 40,000 pesos. Florentino Floro, a trial judge in Manila's Malabon suburb, has appealed to the high court to get his job back. After filing his appeal, Floro told reporters, "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed." Floro was canned after a three-year investigation found him "incompetent", that he had shown bias in a case he was trying, and that he has "criticized court procedure". Floro told investigators that three mystic dwarves, named Armand, Luis, and Angel, helped him carry out "healing sessions" during breaks. Although the court could not declare Floro insane, they agreed with the court clinic's findings that he suffers from psychosis. I personally don't see what's so bad about this - this is just my viewpoint, but is it all that different from consulting an all-powerful man in the sky?

The Interests of a Brit Living in Toronto Like It Is - The Interests of a Brit Living in Toronto Um Do You Believe in Mystic Dwarves? 17-08-2006 Apparently, a judge in the Philippines does. Florentino Floro said that three mystic dwarves Armand, Luis and Angel had helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year enquiry that led to him being removed from the bench, saying he should not have been removed because of what he believed. Well, he had a point to an extent. But not to the extent of seemingly active mystic dwarves. O.K. After I convinced myself that yes, I really was reading about mystic dwarves, on the BBC News website no less, I tried not to laugh. But it was no good. I found it so funny. Especially when I read that the judge had made a covenant with his mystic dwarf friends that he could write while in a trance and said that he had been seen in more than one place at a time by several people. And that he changed his robes every from blue to black Friday to recharge his psychic powers. Its only fair to say at this point that he was found to be suffering from psychosis. But the funniest part had to be the words he wrote in a letter to the court: From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal. Well, thats one way of putting it I suppose. Not sure Id like the good judge to preside if I was up in court! Unsurprisingly the Supreme Court was unimpressed. Florentino Floro lost his appeal and was removed as a judge. Edit: Judge Floro comments. No, really. timethief (18:32:10): It is said that my Irish ancestors believed in leprechauns and fairies.

It is also said that they definately had a twinkle in their eye when they made such claims. Two of them were magistrates but neither claimed to commune with the little people when it came to dispensing justice. The judge above was obviously nuts. This situation reveals why I do not believe that there should be such a thing as lifetime judicial appointments in Canada, unless such appointmenst are made subject periodic psychiatric review. britgirl (22:45:32) : You have a point. Ive always thought that the lifetime appoinments of judges was rather a dangerous thing. Gives them carte blanche to do almost anything.

The Supreme Court ruled that Floro's "dalliance with dwarves" was sufficient grounds for justifying his removal from office, and upheld the decision of the previous courts. Floro, however, is not about to be silenced. In a letter to the court he claimed victory in defeat: "from obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal" he explained. A spokesman for the dwarves said that they were too embarrassed about the whole incident to talk to us.

Florentino Floro channels some mystic dwarves May 04, 2006, 10:33 AM A look into the future with Moussaoui A judge in a Philippines court just got canned after he ran around telling anyone willing to listen that he was capable of seeing into the future. He also claimed that he consulted imaginary mystic dwarfs when issuing verdicts. He told investigators that three mystic dwarfs -- Armand, Luis and Angel -- helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. Now I mention all this because many American court decisions are also decided by mystic dwarfs, called jurors. And unlike the dwarfs in the Filipino court, the ones in America, and especially the ones in that Alexandria, Virginia court that just decided NOT to give the death penalty to arch-terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui the death penalty, obviously are incapable of seeing into the future. So let us help them out. By keeping Zacarias Moussaoui locked up, well fed, and spending his days watching movies, the midget jurors are endangering hundreds of American lives. They are creating incentives for al-Qaeda and its affiliates to grab planes, trains, and embassies full of Americans, hold them at bayonet point or whisk them off to friendly places, and threaten to murder them unless their wellfed comrade in the federal pen is released! "America, you lost . . . I won," Moussaoui declared as he was being led away from the court. Of course, when that happens the US can always send Jimmy "Goobers" Carter and Bill Clinton to negotiate their release.... Posted by Steve Plaut, May 4, 2006 10:33 AM (Pacific)

They should not have dismissed me for what I believed." It's always the smaller religions that get the shaft. Consulting with mystic, omniscient dwarves? Maybe this judge is secretly Green Lantern. Jesse Walker | May 5, 2006, 4:54pm Huh. Didn't say that he was fired for believing goofy shit, only that he was found incompetent and had violated professional ethics by showing bias in a case. And even if he were fired for consulting gnomes or whatever the hell, I'm just not going to get my libertarian panties in a twist over it. Oops, I meant boxers. Seeing into the future??? Invisible mystical dwarfs??? How ridiculus! Why can't he believe in something reasonable, like the resurrection of Jesus or Moses parting the Red Sea? They didn't dismiss him for "what he believed," they dismissed him because he was a lunatic that "was incompetent, had shown bias in a case he was trying and had criticized court procedure." This should've been filed under "Friday Fun Link." three mystic dwarfs -Armand, Luis and Angel Aw, hell, it's as valid as any other religious belief. I'm with Jamie Kelly... This does bring up that interesting legal point--even for believers--what's the line between religion and insanity? If I'm a government employer and I have an employee that believes in some crazy religion and acts pretty loony, is there a point where I can fire him for his "religious" views or actions? Short of the employee doing something obviously illegal, of course. The kneejerk answer is "no", but I think there is some magic line out there. It's kind of like the question in some countries about whether Scientology is a cult or a religion. Pro has an excellent point. If a lot of people, and people in power, believe in some nutty religious ideas, it's okay.I like the fact his mystic dwarf friends had names.

349

Imagine. "My name is Armand. This is Luis and Angel." I like the fact his mystic dwarf friends had names. Imagine. If his mystic dwarf friends aren't real, how does he know their names? I just hope he has the strength and courage to fight this injustice. if Phillippine law doesn't specifically prohibit judges from consulting mystic dwarves, then they have to give him his job back, in a strict constructionist reading of the law I think the triple-dwarf theology is kind of weirdly sweet. And at least no one's been burned at the stake or beheaded in the name of Armand. Wasn't that in Interview with the Vampire or something? I love the idea of the judge consulting three dwarves, Snow White and the Holy Trinity. Too bad we can't fire Bush for asking his imaginary friend Jesus to help him decide which brown people to kill. Religions are all based on a belief that their fairy tales are better than yours. Unfortunately, a good portion of my ice cold Coors went though my nose upon reading the first paragraph of that story. 1) Influence Judge and give him ability to see into the future. 2) ?????????????????? 3) Profit! ARMAND WILL RULE WITH A ROD OF IRON LIKE OR NOT! @all: Insanity is a minority of one. Ah, AFORF, that was brilliant. But I have a couple of serious questions. Like, why are we only talking about Armand? What about Luis and Angel? And just how does this 'trinity' work? (Because, I gotta tell you, the Christian trinity don't make no sense, no how.) Are they separate but equal? (Harhar) Separate but unequal? (If they were a band would they be 'Armand and the Mystic Dwarves'?) Or are they some kind of three-in-one deal, perhaps joined by a 'common energy'? Moreover, what is their nature - entirely mystic, both human or mystic etc?
350

(By the way, these were all questions asked during the first centuries of Christianity - the 'wrong answers' became heresies...) Now I've only spoken to Luis, but he assures me that Judge Floro got a raw deal. Luis is right. Luis is always right. *Hits SY with a stick* Well, at least the dwarves weren't called Larry, Darryl, and Darryl. The fact that we have moved into the hermaneutics and exegetics of the Armand trinity convinces me that vacations are in order all around, or drinks, or something. I may go start this religion online in Second Life. Always wanted little culties following me around. My first thought was to equate this hack with AL Judge Roy Moore. Removed from the bench for failing to uphold the law, he screams "I'm being persecuted for my beliefs". Why are we only talking about Armand? What about Luis and Angel? Because the true believers know ARMAND is the one. Luis and Angel sit by his side and bring his word, BUT IT IS THE WORD OF ARMAND! So says the prophet AFORF, in all caps, as ARMAND commands it. Are they some kind of three-in-one deal, perhaps joined by a 'common energy'? Before all other mystic dwarves, there was ARMAND. Through his power, Luis and Angel evolved from clams from the planet Remulac over 5,000,000 years ago. I have a book, Diuretix, which explains all this. It's available for only $19.95. Luis is right. Luis is always right. Maurkov is a heretic, and will be punished, along with all who follow him, when ARMAND stops doing porn and comes to rule with his IRON ROD! This does bring up that interesting legal point--even for believers--what's the line between religion and insanity? I think it has to do with how much you allow your religion to interfere with your ability to handle day-to-day life.
351

If you know a hurricane is coming to your area next week, and you stock up on supplies and hurricane-proof your home, and then pray to God that you make it through okay, that's not insane. But if you don't make any preparations EXCEPT to pray to God, believing that's all that is necessary, that's where you start having problems. Stayin' put- God will take care of me." If a judge uses his religious or other non-rational beliefs, instead of the law, to decide cases, then he should be dismissed. This applies just as much to Christians, Jews, Mormons, environmentalists, etc, as it does to dwarf-worshippers. (Despite my status as Papist Avenger, I would say the same of a judge who decides a case based on an apparition of the Virgin Mary.) There is always the option of recusal if a judge considers it impossible to separate such beliefs from his decision. Note that I'm talking about judges here, not legislators. If a legislator wants to base his votes on the dictates of his rice krispies, he should be free to do so so long as his constituents elect him. But a judge has to apply the law, not make it. Remind me never to name my kids Armand, Luis or Angel. Well, hey-separation of church and state! I guess if he can't follow that, then he should be removed from his job. Florentino Floro seems rational. I move that he replace Ginsburger or Thomas.200

IX. Psalms 109 & 73: Biblical Imprecation exorcises the Philippine Judiciary Hope Diamond: the Mystic Curse of the Prophet, the Magic Spell of the 3 Healing Dwarves & the Angel of Deaths Dire Predictions

353

The Prophet: Dire Predictions of Judge Floro Hope Diamond: Mystic Dwarfs LUIS, Armand & Angel, and Psychic Judge did spiritual cleansing of the JBC, 15 S.C. Justices and the Judiciary The Hope Diamond is a large (45.52 carat), deep blue diamond, currently housed in the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. The diamond is legendary for the misfortunes it supposedly visits upon its possessors. The Hope Diamond's history can be traced to a blue diamond named the Tavernier Blue, which was originally mined from the Kollur mine in Golconda, India, and was a crudely cut triangle shape of 112 3/16 carats (22.44 g). French merchant-traveler Jean-Baptiste Tavernier purchased it sometime in 1660 or 1661. According to legend, the Tavernier Blue was stolen from an eye of a sculpted idol of the Hindu goddess Sita, the wife of Rama, the Seventh Avatara of Vishnu. The diamond was one of the 2 eyes of the idol. When the priests noticed it was missing, they placed a curse on whoever owned the diamond. One reason that this is not accepted is that the Hopes sister has not been found. The Curse: The first stories about the supposed curse of the Hope Diamond surfaced in 1909. In the June 25 issue of The Times an article written by the Paris correspondent listed a number of supposed owners who had come to an ignoble end. Tavernier supposedly died of fever soon after (he actually lived to 84, and was not torn apart by wolves). The Hope Diamond was blamed for the fall from the king's favor of madame Athenais de Montespan and French finance minister Nicolas Fouquet, the beheadings of Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and the rape, mutilation and beheading of the Princesse de Lamballe. The legend added fictitious persons: diamond cutter Wilhelm Fals (killed when his son Hendrik stole it); Hendrik Fals (suicide).

Francois Beaulieu (starvation after he sold it to Daniel Eliason).201 Psychotic judge enlists help of dwarf-friends vs SC By Tetch Torres, INQ7.net, Last updated 06:40pm (Mla time) 11/03/2006 BEGINNING this Sunday, three dwarves will work their powers against 14 of the 15 justices of the Supreme Court, a dismissed judge has warned as he filed his third motion for reconsideration for his reinstatement before the high tribunal. Judge Florentino Floro Jr. of the Malabon regional trial court was separated from service after medical findings showed that he was suffering from psychosis. In his appeal, Floro said his three dwarffriends -- Luis, Armand, and Angel -- appeared to him last week and told him that the justices would suffer their wrath for dismissing him. Floro said the sufferings of the Supreme Court justices would start midnight of November 5, the eve of his 53rd birthday. Floro said he appealed to his dwarf-friends to spare one justice, which according to him had been put into a vote by the three. Floro did not name him. "Voting en banc with full authority, Luis voted negative, Armand conditionally positive, upon full appointment of Judge Floro to a higher or equal position by virtue of the eliminated magistrate, while Angel voted neutral," Floro said.

Because the voting was a tie, Floro said Luis agreed to spare one justice if he would spread oil on any part of the justice's house before November 5. Floro said he would follow the dwarves' advice and start praying every Friday so that the curse on the justices would work. "I will devote my entire life, Fridays, until my last breath, towards the fulfillment, execution, and coming to pass of this curse. With absolute faith in Luis, Armand and Angel -- Angels of God, I will fulfill my destiny: spell and karma upon them, all their loved ones, up to the 4th generation," Floro said. He said he believed in duwendes [dwarves] and forged a covenant with them. He also said that he could write while in a trance and that he had been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time. He also likened himself to the angel of death who could inflict pain on people, especially upon those he perceived to be corrupt officials of the Malabon RTC. During court sessions, Judge Floro wore blue robes except on Fridays when he would wear a black robe and black outfit from head to foot allegedly to recharge his psychic powers. He also conducted healing sessions inside his chambers during breaks.202

Sumpa ng mga duwende: SC justices mamalasin, mamamatay Ni Grace Dela Cruz November 04, 2006] Publication Date: [Saturday,

Makakaranas ng sunud-sunod na kamalasan at posible umanong mamatay isa-isa ang mga mahistrado ng Korte Suprema simula sa Linggo ng hatinggabi. Ito ang nilalaman ng pangatlong "motion for reconsideration" ni dating Malabon Regional Trial Court branch 73 Judge Florentino Floro Jr. na inihain nito na naglalayong makabalik siya sa nasabing posisyon. Sa nabanggit na mosyon ni Floro, magdaranas ng sumpa ang mga mahistrado ng Korte Suprema gayundin ang kanilang mga kamag-anak hanggang sa ika-apat na saling lahi. Ito anya ang napagkasunduan ng tatlong duwende na sina Armand, Luis at Angel na nagpakita sa kanya noong nakaraang linggo matapos na tila mag-"en banc session" ang mga ito. Inilakip ni Floro sa kanyang mosyon ang mga larawan ng tatlong duwende na tila kamukha ng komedyanteng "three stooges." Nagalit umano ang mga nasabing duwende sa hudikatura dahil sa pagtatakip ng mga ito sa katotohanan partikular na sa kanyang kaso. Magsisimula umanong matupad ang sumpa sa hatinggabi ng Nobyembre 5 kasabay ng ika-53 kaarawan ni Floro. Isa lamang umano sa mga mahistrado ang makakaligtas sa nabanggit na sumpa matapos na pakiusapan ni Floro ang tatlong duwende na huwag itong idamay. Hindi naman tinukoy ni Floro kung sino sa 15 mahistrado ang hiniling niyang huwag mapasama sa sumpa ng kanyang mga kaibigang duwende. Magugunita na sinibak ng SC si Floro dahil sa umanoy weird na pagsasagawa nito ng hearing sa kanyang sala at pagkonsulta sa mga nasabing duwende sa pagpapalabas ng desisyon.

Philippine Psychic Judge & 3 Dwarves Curse Judiciary Filipino psychic Judge Florentino Floro filed his third appeal for reinstatement, warning 14 Supreme Court Justices of the curse of the 3 mystic Dwarves LUIS, Armand and Angel. These guides will use powers starting November 5, the judge's natal day. Separated from service due to Court's medical finding of psychosis, Philippine Judge Floro admitted having psychic visions and ability to predict the future and to write in trance, due to belief and covenant with the three mystic dwarves. Appealing to the dwarves for exclusion of 1 justice from the curse, the dwarves deliberated en banc. The final tie vote conditionally spared 1 justice. Every Friday Floro will pray the curse upon the 14, their loved ones up to the 4th generation.203 Source: services.inq7.net Spiritual, Divine and Prophetic Mission of LUIS, Armand & Angel thru Healing Judge Floro THE RULE OF THREE (ALSO THREEFOLD LAW OR LAW OF RETURN) IS A COMMON TENET IN WICCA.

IT IS THEREFORE SEEN AS A PRAGMATIC REASON FOR ETHICAL BEHAVIOUR AND COMPLIANCE WITH THE WICCAN REDE. IN OTHER RELIGIONS, IT IS COMPARABLE TO KARMA AND THE GOLDEN RULE. THE WICCAN REDE IS A SAYING THAT SUMS UP THE ETHICS OF THE NEO-PAGAN RELIGION WICCA. THE MOST COMMON FORM OF THE REDE IS AN IT HARM NONE, DO WHAT YE WILL. "REDE" IS A WORD FROM MIDDLE ENGLISH MEANING "ADVICE" OR "COUNSEL". "AN" IS AN ARCHAIC CONTRACTION OF THE WORD "AND", MEANING "IF", AS IN THE SHAKESPEARIAN "AN IT PLEASE THEE". OTHER VARIANTS INCLUDE: AN IT HARM NONE, DO AS THOU WILT ---DO WHAT YOU WILL, SO LONG AS IT HARMS NONE ---AN IT HARM NONE, DO WHAT THOU WILL ---THAT IT HARM NONE, DO AS THOU WILT ---EIGHT WORDS THE WICCAN REDE FULFILL, / AN IT HARM NONE DO WHAT YE WILL. Karma (Sanskrit: from the root k, "to do") is a word of ancient origin meaning action or activity and its subsequent results (also called karma-phala, "the fruits of action"). It is commonly understood as a term to denote the entire cycle of cause and effect as described in the philosophies of a number of Dharmic Religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. Individuals go through certain processes and accompanying experiences throughout their lives which they have chosen, and those would be based on the results of their own creations: "karma". Karma is not about retribution, vengeance, punishment or reward. Karma simply deals with what is. The effects of all deeds actively create past, present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain and joy it brings to others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.
359

The ethic of reciprocity or "The Golden Rule" is a fundamental moral principle found in virtually all major religions and cultures, which simply means "treat others as you would like to be treated." It is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights. Principal philosophers and religious figures have stated it in different ways:

"Love your neighbor as yourself." Moses (ca. 1525-1405 BCE) in the Torah, Leviticus 19:18 "What you do not wish upon yourself, extend not to others." Confucius (ca. 551479 BCE) "What is hateful to you, do not to your fellow man." Hillel (ca. 50 BCE-10 CE) "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Jesus (ca. 5 BCE33 CE) in the Gospels, Luke 6:31; Luke 10:27 (affirming of Moses) Matthew 7:12 "Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you." Muhammad (c. 571 632 CE) in The Farewell Sermon.204

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. 15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. 20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul. 21 But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. 22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. 24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. 25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. 26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy: 27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it. when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

(Numbers 14:17-20) Exodus 34:6, 7: Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord God xxx yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations. Imprecation leaves action to God. It is much better to ask God to avenge us (and therefore, leave it to God than to take vengeance ourselves). Jesus does not want us to remain in a situation of seething anger, embittered toward the enemy. He wants to release us from that prison, to let it go and move on.

In Matthew 5, Jesus says: You have heard that it was said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.

WITH ABSOLUTE FAITH IN LUIS, ARMAND & ANGEL, ANGELS OF GOD, I WILL FULFIL MY DESTINY: SPELL & KARMA UPON THEM, ALL THEIR LOVED ONES, UP TO THE 4th GENERATION. Judge Floro, Angel of Death, November 3-5, 2006 SWS survey: Lawyers say judiciary more corrupt First posted 08:31am (Mla time) Jan 26, 2005 By Donna Pazzibugan Inquirer News Service "MORE lawyers nowadays complain of corruption in the judicial system compared to 10 years ago, according to the Social Weather Stations. One out of two lawyers knows of a trial judge in their city or province who has taken a bribe but they did not report it because they could not prove it, said the SWS. In a briefing among lawyers Tuesday night, SWS president Mahar Mangahas said the perception of corruption in the various courts -- from the municipal trial courts all the way up to the Supreme Court -- has risen among lawyers in the last 10 years. "Our lawyers are more critical now than before," Mangahas told the lawyers as he presented the survey findings for the first time. The SWS polled 889 trial judges -- or 61 percent of all trial judges in the country -- and 400 lawyers from November 2003 to July 2004 to get their perceptions on various aspects of the judicial system.The last such survey was undertaken by SWS from 1994 to 1996. "Corruption remains a major problem," the SWS said in a press statement."
368

As in 1995, one-fourth of present lawyers say that many or very many judges are corrupt. Although half or 49 percent say they know a case in their own city or province where a judge took a bribe, only 8 percent said they reported the bribery. The main excuse of those who kept silent is that they could not prove it," the SWS said.Among judges, only 7 percent said that many or very many judges were corrupt. The SWS said the judges' perception of the extent of corruption among court personnel was the same as in 1996."What has increased is the proportion of judges seeing many lawyers as corrupt," it said. Mangahas said the survey showed that corruption "remains a serious problem in the judicial system but it is not cultural. "They're saying there's nothing to be done about (corruption) but it's not accepted. There's still the idealism," he said. http://www.sws.org.ph/pr061210.htm http://www.sws.org.ph/pr050125.htm http://www.sws.org.ph/pr061210.htm http://www.sws.org.ph/pr061210.htm On January 25, 2005, and on December 10, 2006, Philippines Social Weather Stations released the results of its two surveys on corruption in the judiciary; it published that: a) like 1995, 1/4 of lawyers said many/very many judges are corrupt. But (49%) stated that a judges received bribes, just 8% of lawyers admitted they reported the bribery, because they could not prove it. [Tables 8-9]; judges, however, said, just 7% call many/very many judges as corrupt[Tables 10-11];b) "Judges see some corruption; proportions who said many/very many corrupt judges or justices: 17% in reference to RTC judges, 14% to MTC judges, 12% to Court of Appeals justices, 4% i to Shari'a Court judges, 4% to Sandiganbayan justices and 2% in reference to Supreme Court justices [Table 15].

You have to admire deployment of the adjective "imaginary" prior to the words "mystic dwarves" in that sentence, since it ensures synchronicial connection of these jury-rigged Philippino figments and their judicial consultee with Beachcomber's infamous Justice Cocklecarrot and his Twelve RedBearded Dwarves. Two Fridays ago I barely mentioned ex-Nazi soprano Elizabeth Schwarzkopf and the old belter dropped dead. This week, courtesy of my prophetic blog, life imitates Beachcomber in the form of judges and dwarves. Who's next? In "Another girl, another planet" Carter assigns the same names to the new planets-Armand, Luis and Angel-as the dwarf judge assigned to his phantoms. What to make of that? Or am I just dizzy from looking up for meteorites? 'Dwarves In Space' it's the new sci-fi - but Carter's is a clever and deceptive wit.207 The actual Judge Floro appears to have replied in comments: 208 He seems like a fascinating guy.

"His mental problems for now appear to render him unfit with the delicate task of dispensing justice," the Supreme Court said in a ruling. Yesterday, obviously after scouring the interweb for reference to himself, Judge Florentino Floro left this message. Well he left four, actually. So, Judge Florentino V.

MYSTIC JUDICIAL DWARVES Filipino 'dwarf' judge loses case A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. But, you know, it probably wouldn't hurt if Armand, Luis and Angel would advise some New Mexico judges... UPDATE: This morning I found an extremely lengthy (like 17 times larger than the original post) comment from someone claiming to be Judge Floro. I reluctantly deleted it just due to space. (For some reason the comments here appear on my blog itself, not in a separate pop-up. Blogger hasn't been able to help me. I've got to do something about that.) Most of the comment was repetitive recapping of the news story from various sources and comments of support from others. Here is a link to Judge Floro's blog, where some of those comments seem to come from. Again, I can't vouch for the authenticity, but it's pretty interesting.

At first, I'm thinking: what a lucky judge. He's got three lackeys to help him do all the work while he goes golfing. But then I realize that Armand, Luis, and Angel are not law clerks. No. They are mystic dwarfs. Or at least that's what Judge Floro told investigators. Apparently these three mystic dwarfs "helped him carry out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers." And Floro wonders why the investigators found that he was "incompetent, had shown bias in a case he was trying and had criticized court procedure." He can't believe he was "dismissed for what he believed." In response, the Mystic Dwarf Union is circulating a petition seeking some relief from the antignome/dwarf sentiment in the Phillipines.211

Life in the Enchanted Kingdom would be truly dark if it were not for the somewhat comical inconsistency exhibited by the Supreme Court in one of its recent decisions. The Supremes fired Judge Florentino Floro Jr of the Malabon Regional Trial Court because they found his friendship with three imaginary dwarves Armand, Luis and Angela disabling condition. But the same justices believed and applauded Mrs. Arroyos story about three little boys from Payatas Jason, Jomar and Erwinwho floated three little paper boats down the Pasig river to send her a message she personally read after she actually recovered those paper boats. Faced with that fact, I think the justices should have overlooked the judge's imaginary friends. Furthermore, they shouldn't have dismissed the judge for believing in imaginary dwarves when they themselves helped install an elf through an imaginary letter of resignation.

The Fat Tree Holy Dwarves! May 3, 2006 @ 12:39 pm Filed under All, Religion This article acquaints us with a man widely believed to be psychotic by his peers. For those of you, like myself, whom are far too lazy to read an entire article, I have provided excerpts. "A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the countrys Supreme Court." - Reuters As you can see, the man was removed from a position of great influence in his country. And for good reason! The following excerpt clearly illustrates that the man is, without a doubt, fucked in the head. The judges supreme court colleagues agreed that he was mentally incapable of handling a position of authority. To their credit, the justices stopped short of calling the man crazy, unlike myself. So, why is it that crazy fuckers like this judge are allowed to run amuck in positions of power saying the exact same thing except that they refer to: Armand as, "The Father", Luis as, "The Son", and Angel as, "The Holy Ghost?

Why arent these idiots removed from power in the same manner this judge was removed? What if this judge had written a very long, mostly boring, and selfcontradictory book and proclaimed its content to be "The Truth," or "The word of Armand"? What then? Would he still be considered a lunatic or would he be upgraded to a prophet?

A HANDKERCHIEF OF HARD NEWS SOAKED IN A SNEEZE OF THOUGHT SNOT JUDGE FIRED OVER UNSEEMLY RELATIONSHIP WITH MYSTIC DWARVES A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. Florentino Floro was appealing against a three-year inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias. I do not believe people should be judged for their beliefs I do not believe people should be judged for their beliefs - especially if the people being judged are actually judges themselves. Next thing you know, you'll be judging me over my obsession with Judge Reinhold, star of such great films as Clifford's Really Big Movie and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. Judge Reinhold hails from Wilmington Delaware, and is a born-again Christian. Bob Marley lived in Wilmington for two years - which seems a bit strange. Tom Verlaine, from the great band Television, actually attended high school in suburban WIlmington. Wilmington has six sister cities, including Osogbo, Nigeria. Frankly, I find this all a bit disturbing. But not nearly as disturbing as this rash I've developed from using a shampoo sample I tore out of a magazine. WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE???? 'Mystic Dwarves' was an anarcho-punk band based in Manchester in the late '70s. I wonder why the good judge would consult them. I can't speak for the other two little people (and that is what we prefer to be called) but while I like to maintain an aura of mysery about me (its a great pantie peeler, dude), I am not a mystic. And certainly not imaginary. Combine that with advising a friend with "painful itching and swelling" to put some Preparation H on his ass and now I'm a mystic healing dwarf.

Psychic Judge failed to predict his dismissal

The Supreme Court of the Philippines recently dismissed Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. a judge of eight years standing, due to a medically disabling condition of the mind. Commenting in The Times, David Pannic, QC said proceeding opened in Judge Floros courtroom with a statement. Letting him down lightly, the Supreme Court observed that Judge Floro may be dysfunctional as a Judge but may still be successful in other areas of endeavour.

More bizarre was the dismissal of Judge Florentino Floro of the Philippines whose downfall was brought about as a result of healing sessions he conducted in is chambers with three mystic dwarves Armand, Luis and Angel. These three short gentlemen had remarkable powers including, according to the former judge, the power to allow him to write judgments while in a trance and to be in two places at once. Despite these undoubtedly useful judicial skills the Supreme Court said that dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the publics acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule. Supreme Court Justice Peter Dutney died suddenly on Friday night, September 07, 2009, in South Australia (at the age of 54 years old, relaxing at day's end after completing one of the final legs of a bike ride across the Simpson Desert). He was born on 22 June 1955 at Charleville in Western Queensland, the second son of Beth and Neil Dutney, a local solicitor. Gifted academically, he won a scholarship to Brisbane Boys College where, in his final year, he was Captain of Debating. He was appointed to the Supreme Court on 20 March 2000, after more than 20 years working as a barrister and solicitor in Queensland. His tragic death was less than a month after Justice Dutney delivered his August 12, 2007 speech, quoting the 3 dwarves and Judge Floro's painful separation from judicial service.217

Armand, Luis, Angel, And The Law This entry was posted on Monday, August 21, 2006 and is filed under My Half Baked Opinions. I am 80-something lady from rural Virginia, free spirit and free thinker, plain speaker; my granddaughter's husband often says I have an 'incendiary personality.' And since he means that as a very high compliment, I take it as such and have made it into a screen name. I would love to have more information about the judge described in this article from the BBC online. The title is, 'Filipino 'Dwarf' Judge Loses Case', and the text is pretty skimpy (I'm sorry to say) so I'll post the whole thing:

Filipino 'dwarf' judge loses case.

A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. Florentino Floro My first reaction to reading that was well at least he wasn't relying on The Seven Dwarfs. My second reaction was I'd sure like to get the inside story on Judge Floro. Was he consulting Armand, Luis, and Angel on judicial matters? If so, to what degree did they influence his decisions and did anyone suffer harm as a result? Where did he meet them? Can he describe their appearance? Are they linked to any major religions or is this a brand new system of belief?

My problem with the article, apart from the lack of details, is that it seems to have been written purely for comic relief. If a psychotic person has been ruling on cases and screwing up folks' lives, there's very little comedy to be relieved by. But sketchy and jokey or not, the article got me thinking about a BIG, important issue religion and the law. In this country, we have the tradition of keeping church and state separate, but I don't see how a truly religious person (a judge or a politician, for example) can completely divorce themselves from their beliefs when making a decision. They should try hard, of course. I just think there's a natural limit to how successful they can be. In the world at large, we are pitted against enemies, Islamic Fascists, who want their particularly twisted version of Shariah law to be 'the law of the land' everywhere. They use their declared faith to justify all sorts of hideous acts, but if you talk about that if you identify their religion (Islam) as well as their tactics (terrorism), you are condemned (by many) as a bigot. I think it's possible to respect non-fascist Muslims while talking straight about the fascist Muslims, and we better start soon. Our enemies have made their religion a legitimate concern. How can we stop them from killing us in it's name if we don't understand their interpretation of Islam and their relationship to it? Know your enemy, right? Isn't that one of the basic rules of any conflict? I wish I was a wiser person. Then maybe I wouldn't feel quite so overwhelmed by all this stuff.218

Maybe not for Floro, but we will be reading about Taylor's decision in history annals. Does liberal advocate Judge Anna Diggs Taylor have mystical dwarves help her decide national security policies for the United States? It would help make sense of her judgement against protecting our country from terrorism. The Phillipines don't have too much to worry about in their court system from dwarves, but the difference between Floro's decisions and Taylor's decision is that the United States has been put in peril because of Taylor's decisions. As for Floro's and his mystical dwarves? Just toss him. Grrand Wazoo said... Come to America Florentino. Maybe you and Snap, Crackle and Pop can help Hilary when she channels Eleanor Roosevelt.

This reminds me somewhat of the old man and his balete tree story, for even as I sit here in my fluorescent lighted cubicle, I can't help but think, well what if there really are three dwarves named Armand, Luis, and Angel.

I recently gave my five year old niece a bilingual illustrated Philippine storybook, Ang Tikbalang Kung Kabilugan ng Buwan, written by Victoria Aonuevo, and I thought, dang, now what if I had to explain to her about the existence of all these mythological critters, what if she asked me if there really were such a thing. What would I tell her? Once, I was in a car with some of my grad school colleagues, Geri, Malia, and Daryl, driving from Sebastopol back to Oakland, and alongside the highway, we spotted quite the tall menacing dark tree. I turned to Daryl and said, wow, now that's some inhabited tree. He immediately agreed with me, but then I had to explain that I wasn't sure I believed in "that kind of stuff," but when encountering a tree like this on a hike, I'd always asked its permission to pass, and apologized for stepping in its space. Just in case. To which he responded, "sounds to me like you do believe, if you must do these things 'just in case'." I wrote a poem entitled "Red Demon," which is included in Father Poems, and it's for/about my dad, and a vision he's had, having lived in the American suburbs for thirty years. My American-born younger sisters I think found this "red demon" incident in the driveway of my parents' yellow suburban home kind of embarassing, a sign of my father's usual but growing nuttiness. But part of me kind of can't doubt him. Although truth be told, my father is pretty nutty. So then, I wonder how nutty this judge is after all. posted 21 August 2006, Monday Brian Bollman made this comment, "just in case" qualifies you as "agnostic" not "believer" (pardon my conflation of 'folk belief' and christianity) Your experience "asking permission to pass" reminds me of a silly story I wrote. I've posted it to my blog in case you're interested.

I guess theres nothing inherently more crazy about mystic dwarfs than there is about invisible paternalistic ominpotences But second, if you were a criminal, could you really feel respect for Mr. Justice Florentino Floro? You know every criminal in that circuit has a nickname or two for this guy. Note: it took them three years to find out he was incompetent. He was consulting invisible magic dwarfs, and it took a three-year investigation to find something was wrong. The obvious conclusion is that the dwarfs were using their mystical powers to befuddle the investigation. Im going to let the healing sessions thing go, and just focus on the fact that the magic dwarfs were named Armand, Luis, and Angel. Im trying to imagine what my reaction would be when a magical dwarf revealed himself to me, and then told me his name was Armand. I am also not qualified to make a legal determination of someones sanity, but I think I can comfortable go along with the court clinic here also, based only on four paragraphs of second-hand information. You still have to click through to the Reuters article though, just to see the picture they chose to run with the piece.221 give 'em enough rope joestrummerlives, Data Base Administrator, 32 yearsLocation:Norfolk, Virginia Wednesday, May 03, 2006 And I thought listening to the Federalist Society was crazy

Sometimes you come across something so bizarre; you think it has to be made up. This is for real. Apparently, a judge in the Philippines was fired by that country's Supreme Court because he claimed he could see into the future and often consulted with three mystic dwarves (named Armand, Luis and Angel for those scoring at home). The judge, Florentino Floro, claimed that he should not be fired for "what I believe". Hmm, OK. That's just plain stupid. One cannot be a responsible Biology teacher and disbelieve the theory of evolution. If you don't believe in the Bible, you can't be a Priest. Some jobs have minimum requirements and qualifications. Judges, by necessity, must be of sound mind (Tony Scalia included). Furthermore, any position of responsibility should be denied someone this obviously insane. To steal a line from P. J. O'Rourke, it's like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. Bad things will eventually happen. I also wonder how long it will be before Judge Floro teams up with these guys.222 posted by joestrummerlives at 2:31 PM The Paranormal Magazine is your guide to exploring paranormal phenomena and the unexplained, including ghosts, psychic abilities, UFOs, earth mysteries, and many more bizarre occurrences.

Instead, this week we're going to laugh at the Philippines. Trial Court Judge Florentino Floro is up in arms for being dismissed for his beliefs (indeed, he is quoted as saying "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed!"). Is this a case of religious intolerence? Homophobia? Racial hatred? No, it appears that His Honour was dismissed for claiming to be able to see the future and taking advice from "three mystic dwarves" (who were allegedly called Armand, Luis and Angel). Strangely, it took the Supreme Court three years to decide to get rid of him after hearing of his "methods"...Still, when you consider some of the doddering old pensioners we have serving as High-Court judges over here, Mr Floro seems positively sane in comparison.

Btw, for those of you that were curious about where I get stories like this from, jump to www.thisistrue.com The Ranting Old Geezer Thursday, May 04, 2006 FORGIVE AND FORGET...... Everybody is entitled to make mistakes. The voters proved that by electing George W. Bush twice. To forgive is a Godly thing to do. Forgive and forget. But the Geezer has a hard time doing it for the viewers of all the reality shows on TV. In the words of that great American Cardinal Mahoney.Feh! I must confess to having made some mistakes in the past. Some real whoppers. For instance I urged most of my friends to put all their money into WorldCom; I voted for former Congressman Duke Cunningham for sainthood; and I swore in court that I was stuck in an elevator for 6hours with Dick Cheney on speed. A judge in the Philippines was fired by the countrys Supreme Court just because he claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs. Guess they never heard about forgiving mistakes. They should not have dismissed me for what I believed, Judge Floro told reporters after filing his appeal. Floro was sacked last month and fined $780 after a three-year investigation found he was incompetent if thats grounds for dismissal than most of the judges in American courts would be standing on the unemployment line. He was also charged with bias in a case he was trying when he asked a young, sexy defendant to sit on his lap when testifying.

He told investigators that three mystic dwarfs Armand, Luis and Angel (first cousins to Manny, Moe and Jack) helped him carrying out healing sessions during breaks in his chambers. During one healing session he diagnosed someone as having ague fever, shin splints, rickets and black hairy tongue disease when they actually had a bad case of hemorrhoids. The Supreme Court said it was not within its expertise to conclude that Floro was insane, but agreed with the courts clinics finding that he was suffering from psychosis. If he is not forgiven his mistakes he has decided to run for the Presidency of the Philippines. After what happened in the U.S. of A. in 2000 and 2004 I wouldnt bet against him. posted by THE RANTING OLD GEEZER at 5:37 PM225 Virus Mail from Judge El Dwarfo By Sean - So check this out.

In a letter to the court he said: "From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal." Now this just goes to show the cultural differences between some countries. Xxx Several years ago I had a litigant in a custody case appear before me in Family Court. The evidence from a prior proceeding had indicated, among other things, that he regularly conversed with three spirits: one named Barney, one named Aunt Bea, and a third one, who resembled a smelly old woman, who refused to give her name (to him, that is; none of them testified in court). He was able to fill us in on a lot of the secret details of the life of the mother of his children because he could send the spirits down to her trailer to spy on her. It seems she didn't have the gift, so she couldn't see them, so it was a perfect setup for him.
397

In the previous proceeding another judge had ruled that he could not have unsupervised visitation until he had undergone a psychological evaluation, so I ruled from the bench to dismiss his current petition because he still had not done so. The litigant interrupted me and started screaming, saying, among other things, "WHY?? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS!! WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO GET A PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION???" Whereupon your usually genial host and kindhearted judge replied, "Because it appears to me that you are more than a little nuts." I was, of course, duly andpublicly admonished by the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct for that remark. I've often wondered whether they had three extra commissioners sitting that day.227 Mystic Dwarves Aug. 20th, 2006 @ 09:05 am Now What, Cat?

The Judge and the Seven errm Three Dwarfs Posted by Cathy - August 20th, 2006 Dear mouse, Polo forwarded this news article to me knowing that I am a believer in supernatural. Kinda he wants me to say something. SOMETHING. ayan. Call me freak. Bwahaha Excerpt of the news: Florentino Floro was appealing against a threeyear inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias. Whats the bias? Does believing in supernatural makes you a bias person? To what? Sa akin Temyong. Oooops. Call me freak. The court said psychic phenomena had no place in the judiciary. True. In the US, police makes use of psychics to solve crimes. It is just like claiming they do not believe in angels because they do not see them but they believe in GOD even they have not seen HIM and GOD is not natural. He is also Supernatural. So what can I say polo? I think ang mga dwende niya ay mga highly evolved na dwendes. Kasi ang mga mababa pa ang development ay mananakit kaagad pag ang taong malapit siya ay inaapi. They must be in the stages when they can get their mortal forms by doing some good deeds for the mortal world like healing. Ang mga black dwendes do not care. The moment, they are hurt by the mortals, they retaliate. No they do not live in the anthills. They are in the realm which is separated from our world by just a hairlike divide. They choose people to whom they like to communicate with. Extra precaution must be observed when dealing with them because their power is also limited. I will not also rely on their advices if it concerns the future of someone else.
399

So if you ask them this question, dont expect that they know the answer. How many members of each animal did Moses take on the ark? cath, marcos also believes in psychic. actually he believes in the power of the pyramid that is hanging on the center of the ceiling where his bed is located. nancy reagan believes in psychic also. so does the princess of wales, the late Diana. one has to understand also that the great rulers of the world, believes in supernatural and psychic also. i am sure you recall the system of Toning during the mid 70s by Johnny Midnite. (Johnny Joseph) he is a radio broadcaster and people stay tuned to the radio the whole nite and suddenly in the middle of his broadcast, when all people are sleeping and resting, he will intoned an arabic words with jumbled latin and aramaic to that sort and people wide awake listening to the radio will place buckets or containers with water infront of the radio set and after the Toning session, it was claimed that anybody who listened to the Toning session and the water that was placed infront of the radio, when consumed and have drink the water, all ailments will be gone. this was a phenomena for quite sometime in the phils. and suddenly his broadcast disappeared from the air. also, during the campaign program of Ramon Magsaysay (Ramon is my GUY, Less Talk, Less Error/ More Talk, More Error)) he was assisted by the CIA in his quest for presidency. the CIA started a rumor in the rural and the most remotest barrios in the phils. if they will not vote for Ramon Magsaysay, the ASWANG and MANANANGGAL and DWENDE will come to their respective homes and take them.

In every society, there are social codes which one has to stand by. As a country develops, these social codes slowly evolve and adapts into something called the law of a country. Social codes that are not included in the law of the country are usually unwritten but still practiced by many. A judge is the ultimate prosecutor of the law in a country. A believer in judging situations based on the evidence present in the case. This Filipino judge has defied conventions, and has walked down the path of the supernatural. Florentino Floro was removed from the judiciary due to incompetence and bias. Supernatural is a phenomenon said to be unexplainable by scientific reasoning. It has no physical evidence, and is mostly based upon spiritual trust that the situation exists as it is. A judge however, is hardly someone who should possess the character of trusting something that does not have supporting physical evidence. Yet, if that statement holds true, would that mean that every judge in this world should not have any religious belief? I believe that indeed a judge has to be discriminating in terms of cases present to them in court; however, outside of their working hours, they should be free to practice anything within the law. Floro should have his rights to believe in dwarfs, and any other supernatural occurrence that he believes would help him, as long as he is not blinded by this belief, to the extent of bringing it into his work. What is interesting to note is that Floro is appealing against this decision. How ironic, since the people who made the decision in the first place are the ones that would judge the case.230

Xxx The judge left the hearing and drove his SmartCar to his tiny home in the country. He passed his prize plantings - a dwarf pine, a mound of minature Helleborus and a Giant Sequoia stunted from lack of fog - on the way to his front door. Once inside his house, he fed his minature Schnauzer, petted his dwarf French bulldog and scooped up his fuzzy dwarf bunny. He walked over to a small door off his living room, opened it and ducked through. Setting the bunny down to hop around the 18" high replica of Stonehenge, he took a moment to mist three bonsai trees near the round window. Then he sat and waited. And waited. After some time, he remembered it was Wednesday, so he changed into a blue robe. Soon, he heard a tinkling hum in the distance and Armand, Luis and Angel were simply there for him, as they always were. "We did it!" he exclaimed. "My name and yours are now immortal! The only problem is that they are calling me delusional." "Delusional is not unusual" replied Armand. "Better unusual than delusional" said Luis. And Angel, the scamp, just smiled and said, "They're not delusions; they're illusions." Then the three went skipping around the Stonehenge model. The judge smiled.

The High Court Guy and the Little People: Part Two Spot, Imagine our surprise when we discovered that a certain guy who was booted off a high court in an island nation because of his improper relationship with imaginary little people commented on our previous post. And the comment is extraordinarily long - much longer than the original post. Those imaginary little people sure are verbose! That verbosity is responsible for our refraining from using certain words in this post since the ex-judiciary guy obviously knows how to google or use Technorati. We're pretty sure he is the real ex-court guy since other blogs writing on the topic have also received attention similar in length and tone... and the IP addresses of those commenters resolve to a certain South Pacific island nation. The upshot, Spot, is that the ex-High Court guy has a blog of his own. Wow! From his blog, we can learn that the crazy ex-High Court man rides horses, has yellow hands which make sick people well and that there are actually five dwarves: Armand, Luis, Angel, BenJamin (Benny) and Estelita. Plus, there are photos - many photos. Here's our favorite: Yep, that is the ex-High Court guy on some sort of trip ordered by one of the little people. We also find that the ex-court man has predicted all sorts of things from cleverly hidden words and phrases in documents he wrote years ago - just like in the movie version of "A Beautiful Mind", but without the newspapers. We are going to risk a link to his blog. Let's hope it doesn't backfire since because we're full up with crazy here. *how come 'techorati' hasn't become a verb, Spot?

Floro's ego has been so trampled upon by the Court's previous denials for reconsideration that he's now issuing an out-and-out threat (albeit a ridiculously crazy one) to coerce the justices to approve his third motion for reinstatement. Back in September Floro doomed corrupt judges to plagues of sorts. Not content with leaving it at that he made sure punishment also awaits their descendants born in the coming decades and until the 22nd century! And now even the family of the SC justices have been damned. This lunatic truly has no qualms in punishing even the innocent and yet-to-be-conceived.

If for nothing else, his inhumanity, his failure in ethical judgement, his warped sense of justice is enough reason to bar this looney from being reinstated. posted by Edwardson at 10 Hokum-Balderdash Assay AboutSkepticism, Naturalism, Critical & Scientific thinking Tuesday, August 22, 2006 Punishing the yet to be conceived The following just made me wince in disgust. That wacko (former) judge Floro now claims that he was ordered by Luis ... to cleanse the Philippine Judiciary and Government of corruption and evil via the flashing of the highest lights, VIOLET and WHITE, thereby, inflicting temporal punishment of sickness, lingering illnesses, accidents, KARMA, CURSE and the SPELL upon those who receive BRIBES and abuse power (upon their loved ones and up to the 7th generation). Punishing even the children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great ... of the culprits?! In his zeal to ferret out corruption, he too has become corrupt--morally. Using imaginary dwarves as a pretext he yearns to punish the offenders to the very hilt and even beyond what is called for such that he wishes to afflict the innocent, the unborn, and even the yet to be conceived! How awful a failure in ethical thinking. It's so ironic that one who dispenses justice would crave and exact such unjust, inhumane, and tyrannical retribution. Floro should ask himself whether it is right and just that he, his parents, his children, his grandchildren should be punished for offenses, however grave, that any of his ancestors up to the seventh generation had committed. This guy is a real goner.

In a ruling written by Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario, the Court said Judge Florentino V. Floro of Branch 73 of the Malabon Regional Trial Court Jr. is unfit to stay on because of his medically disabling condition of the mind. Despite the dismissal, the Court awarded Floro his salaries, allowances and other economic benefits for the past three years. But it ordered him to pay a P40, 000 fine for seven cases against him.

Blood & Treasure a man of excellent naturall Parts; but very Sarcastick and the greatest Buffoon in the Nation November 22, 2006 hi ho, hi ho, it's off to judge we go From the Beeb: A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job. Florentino Floro was appealing against a threeyear inquiry which led to his removal due to incompetence and bias. Well if there is such a thing as the Judeo-Christian tradition and Islamic law, I dont see why we cant have the legal tradition of Snow White, or case law taken from the Book of Disney. The judge himself, meanwhile, seems to have turned up in this ARRSE thread to a warm welcome from the assembled squaddies. And the dwarves, apparently, are striking back. In his appeal, Floro said his three dwarf-friends -- Luis, Armand, and Angel -- appeared to him last week and told him that the justices would suffer their wrath for dismissing him. Floro said the sufferings of the Supreme Court justices would start midnight of November 5, the eve of his 53rd birthday. Floro said he appealed to his dwarf-friends to spare one justice, which according to him had been put into a vote by the three. Floro did not name him. Apparently what were talking about here are duwendes small ghosts cum genus loci in Philippine culture rather than Grumpy, Sneezy and the gang. Judge Floro isnt the first original thinker in Philippine public life.
413

Consider the career of Hilario C Moncado: In the formal deliberations of the Philippine Constitutional Convention of 1934, the elected delegates were annoyed by an embarrassing presence. Into this elite assembly of lawyers and legislators marched one Hilario C. Moncado, the elected representative from Cebu Island who boastedamong his qualifications for drafting a constitution for this new nation-a low golf handicap, the power to heal the sick, and an ability to fly.236

Filipino Justice
Florentino Floro used to be a judge in Manila which is in the Philippines and where Lizza lives. He has been sacked by the Supreme Court because he regularly consults with three imaginary dwarves called Armand, Luis and Angel. According to Mr Floro, he made a covenant with his dwarf friends so that he could write while in a trance and he says that he had been seen by several people in two places at the same time. The Supreme Court sacked him saying that "dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule". Yaxlich wonders how long it will be before Mr Floro starts work for the British judiciary system. He sounds like the perfect person to get British justice back on it's feet.

Yea, you can't prove these Dwarves don't exist, so they must.Nice point, Pingdum. It's a matter of "conventional wisdom."239 Seven dwarfs may be more well-known than U.S. Supreme Court Justices, but judge from the Philippines who claimed to have consulted imaginary mystic dwarfs proves unable to retain his post: Recently, I linked here to a Reuters report headlined "Snow White's dwarfs more famous than US judges: poll." At about the same time, from the Philippines, The Manila Standard was reporting that "Dwarfs cant help 'paranormal judge.'" And The Manila Times provided a report headlined "SC on 'dwende' judge." The ruling that the Supreme Court of the Philippines issued earlier this month refused to reconsider that court's ruling from March 2006. Following the earlier ruling, the court issued a press release entitled "Judge Separated from Service Due to Psychosis." In other press coverage, BBC News reported on Friday that "Filipino 'dwarf' judge loses case; A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job" (via RNLA's "Judicial Confirmation Blog"). Agence France Presse reports that "Mystic dwarf judge sacked." And The Washington Post Online's "OFF/beat" blog offers these thoughts.

X. LUIS, Armand and Angel: Influence beyond borders: Experience and Knowledge

421

Introduction Chary Silva and Elena Liliosa Escober had emailed Judge Floro regarding materials for their University of the Philippines Anthropology 165 under Prof. Felipe Jocano Jr. The final paper is reproduced hereunder. As an introduction of the paper, it is imperative to the definition to offer a brief background of how this paper came to be. Folklore study occupies a broad scope of knowledge not limited to browsing literary works and interviewing people of their experiences. The topic of Liminality: Influence beyond borders was derived from an inclination voiced out by former group mates to study the visible and the invisible. From this, a discussion ensued reaching a consensus of settling on the aforementioned topic. It was only in the writing of the formal proposal of the group by these authors that liminality and the folklore creatures was clearly laid out, with support of literatures found from various sources. Due to imbalance of efforts and disagreements with the data gathered an independent study it was then suggested with the subject focusing on different areas. We then decided to study the elementals or the folkloric beings and the supernatural phenomena. In this paper, folklore will be studied as an experience and as knowledge. We will focus on the supernatural creatures specifically those that can be found in Philippine folklore such as the tikbalang, aswang, sigbena and duwende. The examination of the data will be divided into two parts: the experience and the knowledge. The former will be divided into three parts; the sensorial perceptions involved in the experience, the obscuring of certain parts of the experience and the unravelling of this hidden aspects. Knowledge will study two fields of thoughts that are involved and were fused with the stories. This part of the examination will be delved into the scientific and religious aspect of the information offered by the stories in the study.
422

Objectives The study aims to: 1. Research first hand encounters of people with these folkloric beings 2. Elicit concepts and meanings from their personal views regarding their experiences 3. Look at these concepts and meanings through the experiential paradigm with focus on senses, spatial and temporal representations and context. 4. Relate the experiences to the subsistence of folkloric knowledge 5. Explore on how liminality plays a part in the force and perception of folkloric beings, of how people interact with them and possibly how people interact with these latter group Review of Related Literature Folklore is differentiated from Folktale which according to Damiana Eugenio (1985) is any short narrative in prose told orally among the folk242. Specifically in her paper Philippine Folktales: An Introduction, she uses the term folktale as fictional folk narratives in prose243. Folklore, unlike Folktale, has not acquired any concrete definitions. Mellie Lopez (2008) writes the term folklore is relative. Its meaning depends on the speakers attitude and orientation.244 But it is when it is stated that: The most eclectic definition of Philippine folklore is one that connects and blends together the three main perspectives of folkloristics: the folk, the lore, and the sociocultural context in which the folk materials are found. 245

423

The statement above already establishes a firm thought of what folklore is about even though Lopez proceeds to detail the categories and discuss factors of folklores. This paper aims to study Philippine Folklore Beings, and the experiences of people surrounding these. Isabelo De Los Reyes has prescribed the use of the emic terms in referring to beings such as the mangnangkik, katataoan, or sangkubagi of Ilocos246. This paper however will be referring to these beings as Folklore Beings to refer to a group of creatures that can be found in traditional, passed-down tales. However, when mentioning a specific being, its emic name will be used except when the contributor refers to them as an elemental, or any such terms. Francisco Demetrios The Engkanto Belief: An Essay in Interpretation (1969) lists several themes that can be observed in encounters with the supernatural: The theme of mystery is suggested from the very name of the beings as Encantado from which engkanto is derived means "bewitched," "spell-bound,"or "enchanted." 247 Their characteristics make them objects of dread, hence the second theme the theme of dreadfulness. Engkantos are said to have a demonic character: they are beyond current moral standards; they are hardly predictable and are whimsical. There is also a need for heightened awareness of their presence, or the possibility of their presence, to avoid punishments that carelessness will incur. The speculations of their locations, of the calculated movement and the impending punishment add gloom to the perception towards these beings.248 Nevertheless, people find them interesting and Demetrio (1969) observes the third theme which refers to the motif of fascination. The Engkantos, though capable of harm, reward preferred people generously.249

246 247 248 249

(Ramos, 1977:371) (Demetrio, 1969:79) (Demetrio, 1969:80) (Demetrio, 1969:81)

424

Whenever the conversation turns toward the englcanto, even the most sophisticated lends a listening ear. So although people are afraid of them still they feel a certain deep-seated attraction or fascination for these creatures. The demonic character of the engkantos, their whimsicalness and capriciousness, their unpredictability, while injecting fear and awe at the same time attract mortals who secretly wish they were the special attention of these strange, dreadful yet fascinating beings. 250 Conversely, Herminia Meezs discussion in her book of Explorations in Philippine Folklore mentioned the common belief on environmental spirits as a certain condition called the Ingkanto Syndrome. The Ingkanto Syndrome was attributed to the common belief that the cause of diseases or certain physiological conditions are brought by these Engkantos and could only be treated by folk curers. Engkantos, as stated, are illustrated by their domicile which seems to be the main criterion in the native classification of environmental spirits. 251 Menez also mentioned that the Ingkantos are associated by fallen angels as influenced by Christianity. In Aklan, a mythological narrative told by one of Meezs informants demonstrated that that the spirits fell from heaven and landed in different places placing spirits above the ground (ibabawnon) and under the ground (idaeomon). 252 Menez also argued that discussions regarding this syndrome as a form of psychopathology have been confined to its logical and natural link to shamanism. Experiences with these creatures tend to spell disbelief and awe depending on those listening. David Hufford (1989) lists six common interpretations of encounters with the supernatural.

250 251 252

(Demetrio, 1969:81) (Menez, 1996:64) (Menez, 1996:64)

425

1. No first-person account exists for many such narratives in their present form, the current stories having developed during oral transmissions. 2. Others are misinterpretations of ordinary events caused by the action of tradition on the imagination of the one reporting the experience (e.g., marsh gas for Will-o-theWisp). 3. Some are either outright lies or errors of memory in which the one claiming the experience has placed himself in an account he t first heard involving another person. 4. Some are the experiences of those who have been victims of a hoax by someone who has used the tradition as a model (e.g., Ichabod Crane in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow). 5. Some are actual experiences caused, often intentionally, by fasting, use of hallucinogens, or other methods. 253 However, these interpretations commonly emanate from sceptics, or dismissive observers who may refuse consideration. Francisco Demetrio (1969) prescribes three levels of study on the Engkanto Belief254. One of these approaches the situation sociologically, focusing on the function of this belief that satisfies the people involved. It can also be done psychologically and the symbolisms these beings stand for. In his paper he considers but not uses these two and instead chooses the third method or level which deals with the phenomenological interpretation of these events. 255 The approach using subjective experiences can do well in this paper, though it has its downside. Victor Turner (1970) in his study of the aspects of Ndembu Ritual states the following:

253 254 255

(Hufford, 1989:13) (Demetrio SJ, 1969:78) (Demetrio SJ, 1969:78)

426

 the participant is likely to be governed in his actions by a number of interests, purposes, and sentiments, dependent upon his specific position, which impair his understanding of the total situation. An even more serious obstacle against his achieving objectivity is the fact that he tends to regard as axiomatic and primary the ideals, values, and norms that are overly expressed or symbolized in the ritual.
256

Actions must be considered for what may be negligible to the contributor may prove valuable to the study of the system. Alongside this approach, symbolisms can be used in analyzing these situations. Turner (1970) sees symbols as important to social processes. 257 He defines this symbol, based on the Concise Oxford Dictionary as a thing regarded by general consent as naturally typifying or representing or recalling something by possession of analogous qualities or by association in fact or thought 258. David Gilmore (2003) sees these beings as Ritual Monsters which are used to frighten people and instil lessons. The proliferation of such creatures triggers unpleasant mental visions that are bound to engage people in controlled circumstances. Thus these creatures serve as factors that maintain or elevate instincts.259 Turner (1970) provides the properties of symbols. Condensation is when numerous objects and actions are represented in one structure. The Unification of disparate significata, where the disparate significata are unified by possessing shared qualities or are associated in fact or thought. This jointness, according to Turner, may be random and may be spread throughout a range of phenomena.

Polarization of meaning refers to the distribution of significata ascribing principles of social organization, modules of moral and social orders etc. to one side and the significata of natural and physiological phenomena to the other. He refers to the former as the ideological pole and the latter, the sensory pole. The sensory poles significata are expected to stimulate emotions and desires. He also states that the content of these are closely related to the outward form of the symbol. The ideological pole contains the norms and values that direct people into members of categories and social groups.260 These symbols relate to human interests, purposes etc whether these are explicitly formulated or have to be inferred from the observed behaviour. The structure and properties of a symbol become those of a dynamic entity, at least within its appropriate context of action. 261 To further understand these symbols, one can infer from three categories of data: the visible characteristics, the interpretations offered and the contexts resolved by the anthropologist.262 Alongside the phenomenological study as well as the analysis of the symbols involved, the experiential theory or the experience-centred hypothesis of David J. Hufford can be used. Though similar to phenomenology in centring on subjective experiences, Hufford (1989) readily applies this hypothesis on folklore and supernatural belief, answering speculative discourse on these instances and suggesting science in furthering the study of these situations. Hufford (1989) explains that this hypothesis does not seek to simplify supernatural phenomena to physical occurrences nor does it seek to prove true all events of this nature. For him, this approach will greatly help in acquiring an improved insight on processes related to this belief.

260 261 262

(Turner, 1970:28) (Turner, 1970:20) (Turner, 1970:28)

428

The approach would allow for a development of common ground of discourse that will preceded questions loaded with emotional and culturally biases.263 Though the description and aim of the approach is quite ambitious, it provides a good base for the study of this paper. The experience-centred approach admits the difficulties of concentrating on experience, more so if this experience is in the line of supernatural. Anothers experience is always a reconstruction to be inferred rather than a fact to be directly observed. The data the folklorist relies on for this reconstruction consist largely of verbal accounts and these are well-known to be loaded with sources of error: faulty memories; the creative processes of oral tradition. The very processes of perception, which are generally recognized to be influenced by expectation.
264

These cannot be considered errors however, for Hufford (1989) states that these themselves are important subjects of study, and the changes in these reconstructions has its own integrity and authenticity. He then states that some folklorists have even said that in the study of supernatural belief the issue of whether a given belief is correct is irrelevant. 265 The issue of truth in myths and beliefs has been discussed by Demetrio in Towards an Understanding of Philippine Myths (1974). For him:

263 264 265

(Hufford, 1989:xix) (Hufford, 1989:x) (Hufford, 1989:x)

429

The truth of myth is not the truth of history. It is the truth of experience, of the real, of life, the holy, the sacred The truth of myth is analogous to the truth an anguished person finds once he has prayed to God with all his might before that statue of the Christ Child: the experience of peace, of resignation. 266 But the recipient of this type of faith must be credible, and must be experienced as being credible. He illustrates this with the religious faith. Those who have experienced God as a powerful entity cannot be argued out of their faith, as much as those who have experienced life with no association with God could be argued out of their own. The realities of these two distinct groups are formed by their experiences. 267 These experiences where events may be documented accurately and involve sound reasoning in some instances are important to sustaining folk belief, whether they be believable or unlikely. Some of those that have been considered supernatural before appear later as valid scientific facts such as the giant squid etc. 268 The reasoning and observation involved in this experiences and the formation of truth by people involved has to be considered if these should be studied. For Hufford (1989), the discovery of accurate observation and appropriate reasoning in connection with a belief has the appearance of support for the belief itself269. What is empirical and what is rational has been fatally misconstrued the way these words are connected with belief, making them almost synonymous with what is true or right. 270 Hufford (1989) provides an example to better understand this.
266 267 268 269 270

(Demetrio, 1974:37) (Demetrio, 1974:43) (Hufford, 1989:xiii) (Hufford, 1989:xviii) (Hufford, 1989:xviii)

Ptolemaic astronomy was empirically supported and generated accurate predictions by means of both logical deduction and inductive reasoning. It was also incorrect, even though it continues to be useful for such purposes as navigation. On the other hand, volumes could be filled with correct conclusions that have at times been supported by inaccurate reasons and faulty reasoning. 271 Scientific descriptions that seem similar to these phenomena may be constructive in studying these folk beliefs. 272 However, there may be a chance that this scientific description may lead away from this belief; be far too different from this belief or de discouraging of it. Though Huffords idea of using science in these beliefs, it should not be used preferably over context and the embodiment of the situation. Interviewing people with first-hand experiences of the supernatural is valuable in the phenomenological study of the topic for these would draw closer to the actual perceptions that lie behind the most natural modes of expression273. Hufford (1989) prescribes that the description of subjective experiences allow only minimum post-event interpretation and not to make it into a catalogue of the contributors psychological states. 274 The experience-centred theory can be summarized as such: some significant portions of traditional supernatural belief is associated with accurate observations interpreted rationally. This does not suggest that all such belief has this association. Nor is this association taken as proof that the beliefs are true.
271 272 273 274

(Hufford, 1989:xviii) (Hufford, 1989:xiv) (Hufford, 1989:xiv) (Hufford, 1989:xvi)

431

This latter point must be stressed because much of the investigation of supernatural belief, especially since the Enlightenment, has been implicitly governed by a desire to show that the beliefs under investigation are false. The easiest way to do this seems to have been to assert that believers lack an understanding of how to separate try propositions from false ones. This has ranged from statements about a lack of appreciation for the rules of logic to assertions that the believer fails to use, at least within the domain of belief, adequate reality testing. The experience-centred approach does not seek to show that such interpretations are never accurate; rather, it is a useful means for determining when and under what circumstances they may be accurate. But the approach is in part based on the conclusion that poor observation and incorrect reasoning cannot account for all reported supernatural experience. 275 METHODOLOGY A. Research Design and Methods. A qualitative approach was used in eliciting the data needed for the paper. Focus interviews were carried out to establish meaningful ethnographic accounts of supernatural experiences and the contributors reflections. B. Research Instruments. The base questions used in the interviews were divided into four parts. The first provided the basic information of the contributor, which included ethno-linguistic background, age, occupation and religion.

275

(Hufford, 1989:xvi)

432

This group aimed to establish a brief profile of the contributor and in the analysis of the data, would be consulted to see if any of the data gathered had any relation to these information. The second group of questions focused on the supernatural experience and inquired about sensorial perceptions during these events. This set is to be used as the basis of formally writing the contributors accounts which will be used as case studies and studied in the paper. Ideas regarding issues surrounding the supernatural belief and folkloric creatures comprise the third group of questions. Here it is asked where the contributor perceives the beings world is, the reasons why the beings made themselves visible and the processes that made them aware of these beings. Modifications and lifestyle/ mindset changes that occur after these events were included also in this set. The data gathered here would hopefully establish how humans affect the perception of these beings and how these beings affect the lifestyle of humans. Questions regarding sciences ability to delve into these beings and the phenomena of people being able to see and not see these beings can be found in the fourth group of questions. C. Units of Analysis and Sampling Contributors We preferred contributors who had first-hand accounts with the Supernatural to have experienced data rather than having only opinions and viewpoints regarding these events. It was decided that in choosing contributors, there should be minimal concentration in a location so that an ethnolinguistic variety of experiences will be achieved. We came across our contributors through social networks and the internet and communicated with them personally and electronically. The background research of some of the contributors was done through the net, as they figure prominently in some web rings and news lines.
433

Personal information and some data regarding their experiences and profiles were from web sites recommended by the contributors themselves, some even offering transcriptions of past interviews with them. Literature Electronic documents were kept to a minimum and books, journal articles regarding folklore, analysis and relevant texts were referred to. We aimed to have a balance number of Local and Foreign references in the study. E. Data Gathering / Generation and Construction Interviews were primarily perceived to be carried out personally, talking to the contributor face to face and recording the conversation either through tape recorder or through substantial note-taking. However, when the initial members assigned the task failed to discriminate contributors and gathered opinions rather than experiences, other means of interview were entertained. Fortunately, the internet offered reliable and accommodating contributors who other than experienced these beings first-hand, offered insightful thoughts about them. Copies of the study will be given to the contributors to present how their data was handled and presented. F. Scope and Limitations Time Due to differences in input and quality of efforts, we separated from the previous group, and since they were assigned the initial data gathering we then set to work in gathering our own data. Barely two weeks left before the submission, agitated by wrongful use of IPR and the wilful ignorance of cumulative productions, we were able to secure three contributors in a manner of days and having done the bulk of the review of related literature in the previous group among other things, the reviews and the formulation of topic dimensions took less time. Impressions on the Contributors As there was time constraint, there was less time to build rapport with the contributors.
434

Some of the contributors were communicated with electronically which somewhat made the nature of the interviews rigid as the questions were mailed in their base selves, modified so that these would not be too intrusive to the contributors. Since follow-up questions cannot be made unless the answers to the previous questionnaire have been sent, several emails may have caused inconvenience to the contributors. The topic being studied, as mentioned by Demetrio, is of a sensitive nature subject to biases and scrutiny of those who will read it. We aim to provide reasonable presentation of data and analysis to vindicate the time and effort of our contributors. Availability of Contributors It was of great help to the study that the contributors immediately agreed to be interviewed. Face to face those who had first-hand experiences were readily available and were interviewed right away. For the electronic interviews, responses were received from within a few minutes of sending the question to a few hours. Mr. Jaime Licauco, whom many consider as the foremost paranormal specialist in the country have agreed to an interview, but sadly upon booking an appointment it was found that he was out of the country in the span of time that remained for us to do our study. Contributors Brals Labrador Brals Labrador is an eighteen-year old high school student who spent most of his childhood and adolescent life in Tupas proper, Camarines Sur in the Bicol region. Brals, once residing in an area near a river and large tracts of land heavily covered by trees and wild plants, claimed that their place was more likely than not, enchanted. He had various experiences regarding the supernatural and the unexplained or the unknown upon his stay in Bicol.
435

During an interview, he said that his cousin, who has an opened third-eye, was the one who enlightened him and made him aware of the spirits and elementals that were said to inhabit the same environment we are in. He also claimed that because he often hangs out with this particular cousin with the third-eye, he thinks that he was now more sensitive of the his surroundings for he has experienced himself brief encounters with the nature spirits or elementals. One of these encounters involved a strange creature: a big black dog-like animal, walking backwards and seemed to have no head. This happened when Brals and his cousins were crossing a bridge to go to the other barrio. It was already night and he was scared to walk alone outside which is why he asked his cousins to accompany him to go see a manghihilot for his sprained arm. Brals narrated: Talagang gabing-gabi na as in, kasi puro puno tapos wala nang dumadaan nawala nang dumadaan na sasakyan. Bihira. Kaya noon, nagpasama ako dun sa mga pinsan kong magpahilot dun sa kabilang ano pa, kabilang barrio. Yun nga, sa kahihintay namin natatakot na kami kasi ayaw talaga naming gabihin kasi alam namin dun sa ano na yun, doon sa tulay na iyon inambushan dun noong panahon pa ni Marcos. Marami talaga doong nagpapakita. Paparating pa lang kami dun sa tulay na yun nga kinakatakutan. Kasi yung tulay na iyon parang ano siya, kuba. Pero ok pa siya talaga. Parang-aano pa lang kami dun sa tulay, pataas pa lang kami may malaking asong tumatakbo paatras lahat kami nakita namin. Di namin talagang lubos maisip na tumatakbo siya paatras kasi yung, nakikita namin yung buntot niya ehpero itim na itim siya tapos walang ulo.276

436

Brals said that they shared this particular incident to his relatives and to the elders in their neighborhood however, none of them were able to identify the name of such creature and also, no one in their area have had the same encounter. Basing on Brals description, the closest creature which can be associated to this story is the Sigbin. According to an online source, The Sigbin or Sigben is a creature of Philippine mythology said to come out at night to suck the blood of victims from their shadows. The creature walks backward with its head lowered between its hind legs and also said to have the ability to become invisible to other creatures especially humans.277 The characteristic of walking backwards and the head lowered between the hind legs (which may be the reason why it was described by the witness as headless) are the closest descriptions to the claimed seen creature. Another incident involved the famous Tikbalang. The Tikbalang is said to be a kind of monster which looks like a man but has a very long feet (and the lower torso is often described as something similar to a horse)sometimes he is visible to man but sometimes not and his special delight is to lead people to the wrong road278. In Bicol, it is called Unglo and was said to be lurking in the forest, waiting for fresh fish to steal from the fishermen in their area. Brals said that according to their elders, the fish is one of the favorites of an Unglo. In an incident, Brals was with his father trying to catch fish during a moonless evening in what the Bicolanos call Pangingilaw (pagdadala ng ilaw). A dark moonless evening allows the fisherman to catch more since the fish cannot easily foresee or avoid the catchers. During this time, he heard an unusual sound said to be coming from the Tikbalang:

Eh yun kasi may insidente siyemprenagutom sa kakalakad dun sa ilog. Nag-ano kami, nag-ihaw ng fresh na isda. Doon sa amin, aalisan lang ng bituka pwede mo na siyang [kainin]. Tapos sila nanghuhuli diyanako nagbabantay. Ako mismo nagbabantay, kaya alam ko tatlo yun. Kasi tatlo lang kami: yung pinsan ko, yung tatay ko, ako. Iniihaw ko palang, may, yung parang may parangnag-uungol ungol, yung ganun. Pero di ko kasi maiano sa inyo yung pinakang exactly soundhindi aso, hindi ibon, ano talagang kakaiba. Nung pagtingin ko tatlo pa lang, tatlo talaga tatlo siya tapos pagkurap ng ano ko, wala na yung isa. Eh, sabi ko wala namang aso dun, walang pusaSo yun, pag ano namin talagang halos sinusundan kami nun. Kasi tumutunog talaga yung ano niya sa kagubatan talagang yung may. Mga dahon na tuyo na pag umaapak sila parang talagang alam, sabi nung tatay ko. Talagang yung tatay ko alam niya talagang nangyayari pag may ano. Siya kasi maliit pa kami, ganun na ang ginagawa niya, pag wala yung buwan. Madalas siyang sundan talaga.279 According to our narrator, he said that the Unglo are relatively harmless. They like to steal food and sometimes, the worst that they can do to you, is to lead you to a wrong way. Brals believed that what he experienced when he almost got lost in the forest was because of a Tikbalang. He was just in third grade then, he was around 10-12 years old, and he went out with his mother to fish. He was asked to go to a certain area to collect worms for baits. While he was walking, he said he saw a clear river teeming with fishes to catch. It was beautiful and unknowingly, he was drawn to that spot. As our contributor narrates:

Siyempre, naakit ako doon sa lugar. So pinuntahan kopero sabi ni nanay nakikita niya raw akonaglalakad daw ako, papunta na ako sa bangin, sa bangin na. Sinusundan niya lang daw ako. Sabi niya, Ano ba tong nangyayari dito? Tapos nung papalapit na daw ako, tumigil akogumaganun-ganun daw ako [motioning her mother to come] sabi niya. Tapos, siyempre sa harapan na niya ako, di ko siya nakikita. Ginulat niya ako, hindi pa daw. Simula noon, sa amin kasi pag nililigaw ka dawbabaliktarin mo daw yung damit mo. Binaliktadniya yung damit niya280 Like the story on the Tikbalang, our informant claims that he had a close encounter with an Aswang but was not able to see it because they were inside the house and was too afraid to confront it. According to the stories in their area, there were two kinds of Aswang: Aswang na Lipad (Flying) similar to the Mananaggal and Aswang na Naglalakad (Walking). That time, when they were left alone in their house with his cousins, they claim that it was the Aswang na Naglalakad that was circling around their house. They said that the Aswang na Naglalakad is more dangerous because if they find an opportunity to kill a man, they would definitely do it. It was 10:30 in the evening and they heard a loud thump on their ceiling. After a few minutes, they heard the Aswang circling their house as if waiting for an opportunity. As the story goes: Yun nga naglalakad hanggang sa parang alasdose na ata yun, umalis na lang siya. Parang ganun. Yung inisip namin di namin pwedeng tingnan kasi baka biktimahin kami. Parang yun lang nagpapahinga lang siya. Kinaumagahan, andaming dugo dun sa.[Puno ng] Chico.

Ang bahay kasi namin may Chico sa tabi. Tapos dun sa mga gabi na dahon kala nga namin, may mga anu-ano pa nga eh [describing that there were some stuff or leftovers (author)] Kala nga namin, ano lang ng paniki mga ganun. Eh inamoy nung anotalagang dugo daw ng ano. Basta dugo daw siya, dugo. Eh siyempre, baka may biniktima lang sa amin na sawa na ano, yun yung iniisip ng mga pinagtanungan. Brals added that the Kapre and Duwende and the Nuno sa Punso were also common stories around the neighborhood. With these stories not anymore unusual to them, the people in their area have grown accustomed to some rituals or ways to pay respect to the elementals so they can be free from any harm the elementals might give to them or to their families. In their province, people believe that these creatures are more powerful than humans so we have to be careful and not challenge them. Brals shared a particular way they do in their province to know if the elementals living in the Punso or the mound of soil are willing to give up their place or not: Yung mga duwende naman, sa mga nuno [sa punso]dun daw sa mga nuno, pwede naman silang mapaalis mo eh. Pag initak mo daw yung nuno [sa punso] tumalbog lang yung itak mo - ayaw nilang umalis sa lugar na iyon. Pag-tinamaan daw, yun ang ano nilapwede silang umalis na.281 When the contributor was asked why does he think these creatures make themselves visible to humans like him or why do they even exist, this is because they were nagbabantay or just trying to guard or protect the environment which what these liminal creatures also claim as theirs.

Guardian Guardian started his blog Karunungang Lihim with hope to help people seeking guidance on spiritual, emotional, financial and other such issues. Since its inception in January 2009 it has been frequented by people seeking knowledge on concepts not commonly made available in mainstream literature and knowledge. The blog can be considered a manual to carefully selected topics of Stories (Mystical and Personal experiences), Charms and Spells, etc.282. The real aims of Mr. Guardian can be better explained in his own words: Hindi ako nagsimula ng blog upang makipag tagisan ng talino sa ibang tao na may nalalaman sa karunungang lihim na gaya sa ibang site. May mga ibang site na banat lamang ng banat ng mga oracion na hindi naman dapat, at kulang ang kanilang mga paliwanag ukol dito. Napakadelikado ng kanilang mga ginagawa kaya isa na din yan sa aking rason upang gumawa ng blog upang maituwid ang kanilang mga gawa upang hindi mapahamak ang ibang readers. May kaakibat na panganib ang ibang mga oracion sa ibang site kumpara sa aking site. Step by step procedure ang aking ginagawa na hindi katulad sa kanila. Mahirap ang ganoong paraan kaya ang ibang nag aaral ng karunungang lihim ay nasisiraan ng bait at napapahamak dahil sa maling sistema ng pag aaral tungkol dito. 283 Born in Sampaloc, Manila, he started healing people when he was 7 years old though he already had these abilities ever since he was born.

Tatay Juan, a type of father-figure in his life and one that would guide him for many years, disclosed to Guardians mother than her child is different from other children and will learn many things regardless of formal education. However he went on to become a graduate of Mass Communications, majoring in Broadcasting, a former Medical technology student, former member of Special Ministers of the Holy Eucharist, former Maritime instructor, member of Army Reserve Command (ARESCOM), 284 businessman, a happy husband and a father. Under Seor San Joses presence, Tatay Juan directed Guardian to aid the people coming to his house. The directive surprised people, especially the doctors in the ICU of the United Doctors Medical Center, not because of its content, but because it was delivered by Tatay Juan while he was in a coma after a heart attack. Guardian accepted and after Tatay Juan recovered, they healed and helped those who were in need. Tatay Juan passed away in 2003, but Guardian continues the mission given him. His exposure to the supernatural creatures started when he was younger where Tatay Juan would tell him everything about these beings. His duties also allowed him to relate to these beings, even if somewhat indirectly at times. He has had patients who suffered under these beings, seen great shadows and experienced bed tremors. Some of them even report of seeing these beings. Guardian related two supernatural encounters with us. One of which was a girl who was possessed by a red duwende. Noon ay may pasyente akong isang batang babae na 18 yrs old. Sinasapian siya ng isang dwendeng pula. Hindi siya nakakakain...lahat ng kinakain niya ay isinusuka niya...hindi din siya pinapatulog at kung minsan ay nagkikikisay ang batang babae na ito at nanlilisik ang mga mata.

Pinaalis ko ang salbaheng dwende sa tulong na din ng pagdadasal. lumabas ang dwende sa katawan ng bata. Nakita pa ng batang babae na kinakawayan siya ng dwendeng pula at isinasama siyang muli at may pupuntahan daw sila. Pinalayas ko ng tuluyan ang dwende. Simula noon ay gumaling na ang batang babae at nakakakain na siya ng normal at nakakatulog na din. Sa ngayon ay isa siyang miyembro ng choir sa simbahan ng St. Peter sa Fairview. 285 The second was narrated in an entry called An open letter to Anonymous asking for an interview posted March 18, 2009 a day after we posted a comment in his blogsite requesting an interview. It happened when his wife, then girlfriend, was doing a project for Broadcasting with her classmates and he came along as to handle the camera and serve as their psychic guide. Again the account will be presented in the participants own words rather than be distorted in paraphrasing. We went somewhere in BF Homes, Paranaque, to have an interview to a couple of residents, having paranormal activities on their site. They said that their land is a dump site for aborted babies, and that they are hearing babies crying in the middle of the night. One of our interviewee guided us to their silong underneath their house. Theres a small canal there and across that canal is a big tree. I cant recognize what kind of tree is that at that time because its already dark. I took a video at the silong while the interviewee tells that, their silong is a grave yard for the aborted babies. I cant remember what I am thinking at that timeI fanned the video cam across the canal and focused the cam at the tree. I turned the cam into night vision and focused I looked at the LCD of the camthere are two small lights circling at the tree.

My wifes (girlfriend at that time) classmate also had seen the small lightsShe looked at the tree and there was nothing To make the story short I have examined the video for their project, and found out that I have captured a kapre sitting in the tree. Anthony Vivero (a psychic and a friend of Jaime Licauco) also confirmed that it was a kapre Anthony Viveros friends are asking me how I got such video. (Nahihirapan daw sila makakuha ng ganoon) 286 In his discussion of different indigenous knowledge, he mentions the presence of duwende in one of his sessions. Minsan akong napagawi sa isang liblib na lugar sa Pampanga at may nakausap akong isang pamilya doon na sinabing sila ay may nakikitang duwende sa kanilang bahay. Naramdaman ko ng presencia ng mga duwende noong nahandoon ako at nakikinig sila sa aming usapan. Nakapalibot sila sa amin ngunit hindi sila makalapit(mga itim). May isang batang puting duwende ang pumunta sa aking likuran at nilaro ang buhok ko sa tuktok. Binasbasan ko ang kanilang bahay at lumayo ang mga itim. Sinabi ng maybahay na may lumalapit nga sa kanyang anak na lalaki na duwendeng puti at niyayakap siya. Sinabi ko sa kanila na pinoprotektahan sila ng dwendeng puti para hindi sila gambalain nung mga itim. Noon daw ay nag iwan yung batang duwende ng isang pares ng sapatos na ginto. Iniwan ito sa ibabaw ng unan ng anak na lalaki ng maybahay. Ginawang kwintas ng batang lalaki yung isang sapatos ng malaman ng ina nito na ito ay gamit ng duwende ay natakot ito at ipinahubad sa bata ang kwintas at sinabing baka magalit yung duwende at gawan sila ng masama. Kaya inilagay nila ang sapatos sa ibabaw ng altar. At ng tignan nilang muli ay nawala na ang sapatos.

Mainam ito sa kahit na anong negosyo. 287 Though he has encountered these beings several times, he says that he cannot see them as his third eye has not been bared and that he can only sense them. 288 Judge Florentino Floro Before proceeding with the formal introduction of this participant, an aside is called for to address the issue as to why we did not assign an alias for him. Judge Florentino Floro has notoriously figured the media with his unfortunate dismissal due to communing with his beliefs. The name when entered in search engines offers dozens of pages relevant to him and his situation, as compared to other searches where most of the pages offer derivatives of the item being searched. Should his name be disguised, his personal history will nevertheless uncover it as the situations he has been involved with can be considered very singular in nature. Born November 5, 1953, the eldest of five children Judge Florentino Floro was educated mainly by schools ran by religious orders. He graduated Full Second Honors in his class in the Ateneo de Manila University law school, and achieved a 87.55% rating in the 1983 bar examinations, placing him twelfth among the examinees.

Prior LUIS revelation to his brother Robert on June 2, 1983, Judge Floro never believed in these elementals, and just take them [sic] as mythology or folklore like the Greek Gods we studied in Drama under Fr. Galdon SJ.289 He then asked his brother about this who promised him that the King of King of Elementals- LUIS- will reveal himself to him in due time. From 1984 60 1992, this promise kept on and Judge Floro to further his belief tested LUIS to the limits of materiality290. In 1992, his glasses rating dropped from 325/ 175 to 175/ 125 in just 6 months. Every Sunday his pulse rate records up to 120, and it was around this time that he started seeing the green, yellow, etc. lights. The year 1994 revealed to him the highest light in the universe, the Violet which he claims was a flash 100,T of a second as big as needle point.291 LUIS, Armand and Angel As previously mentioned, LUIS was first seen by Judge Floros brother, Robert in June 3, 1933 when their father died. LUIS and the others were described as: " small, but have bonitos, or bonnets or hats as reverence to God. LUIS' clothes are often violet but they also wear other colours. Armand appeared in a vision to me in the form of human MOST HANDSOME and loveable child of say 7 years of age, while LUIS, appeared as a King with violet hat, sitting on a stone. 292 In 1996, he finally saw vision where LUIS formed a leave me and would be with provided I would not persecute LUIS and Armand through a covenant where he would not me spiritually for all moments the poor293.

This covenant he termed as nakalakip294. LUIS appeared again in a vision in 2002. Outside these visions, LUIS, Armand, and Angel appeared before him as lights, LUIS appearing in white and violet forms. He doubts the literature written on psychic phenomena as they are bound by limitations and could not penetrate the LEVEL of LUIS, these violet and white lights from GOD295. His three aides other than duwendes are also adherents of God. LUIS Armand and Angel and all white elementals are white or good angels of God who won against Lucifer in the great battle of the heavens, when God threw Lucifer into hell. But but but as Angels, LUIS is just an official of the Army or Mary the Queen of Heaven, who crushes the serpent Lucifer. So, the higher level is that of the saints. Remember that, these angels LUIS etc. are spirits who exist by the Light - Lux in Domino - Light in the Lord the Violet light and White light of Christ. But since there are millions of elementals as we are more than 70 million Pinoys, they also have ranks like doctors nurses, etc. kings and laborers. The ranking is determined by the lights they possess. 296 He offers a more detailed description of LUIS lights and condition: LUIS [sic] light is pure. So, violet light travels 1 trillion times the speed of light, thus, there is no more distinction between time and space, hence, STATE, no space no time.

LUIS has no plane or area, He is at STATE, not time no space just pure light but takes human form like a dirty elementary school boy, a dwende on a rock etc. These are just allowing me to see them = piercing the veil of invisibility. 297 Waves of light have long been studied but, according to Judge Floro, the elementals cannot be seen by just everyone as they themselves block all evidence that will lead to the revelation of their existence. What he calls the deepest secret of the universe, the violet light, takes part in this cover-up. However, the elementals do show themselves to humans: to children because they are pure, but then the elementals erase all memories of encounters at some point, and to those who are pre-destined and chosen like Judge Floro. LUIS, Armand and Angel have also imparted gifts to Judge Floro. He received the gift of Vision, and claims to have been able to predict the downfall of the former president Joseph Estrada in April 1998. He now has the ability of Exorcism, and Bilocation, bilocation meaning the facility to travel to other places and appear there while remaining at the place of origin. He also has the golden hands which emits extreme heat and heals, with the aid of coconut oil, the poorest of the poor. LUIS and the others have also given him krus sa dila and pangil na kidlat298. Judge Floro also claims to have eyes that emit fires and has become immortal meaning: I fly and do fly mystical LEVITATION since this year meaning I can fly on the level of LUIS, not like Padre Pio lower flying I travel to places like this morning to Baguio but different Baguio. I never need to eat nor drink since this year but I can eat anything I like. I eat very little at 11 am then I must eat by 12 midnight with 3 beers but I do not need to eat.

Unlike the 100 years arbularyos you knew, who just drink coffee, I do not need to but I can devour anything. 299 Legal Career Between these dates, several key events were also occurring in Judge Florentinos legal career. The Standard provides a very brief background to his career: Florentino was appointed on November 5, 1998, as the country's youngest judge. It was not the first time he'd tried to become one. Three years earlier the state had failed him for psychological reasons but he was allowed an independent, private mental assessment that cleared him. His reign as a judge was as bizarre as it was short. Sessions would start with readings from the Book of Revelations; on Fridays he would change from blue robes to black to recharge his powers, and in between hearings he'd provide healing sessions, even for other judges, as well as consulting his trio of "advisers." Such unorthodoxy brought a swift end to his career and he was suspended in July 1999. So began his seven-year battle to be reinstated, with more than 100 motions tabled, finally ending with the Supreme Court decision. He was paid 1.1 million pesos in back pay, over half of which has already been used to pay debts.300 In a case filed by the Court Administrator against Judge Florentino Floro in March 21, 2006, it was stated that in 1995 that Judge Floro applied for judgeship. A pre-requisite psychological evaluation on him then by the Court Clinic Services (SC Clinic) revealed evidence of ego disintegration and developing psychotic process.301

449

The application for judgeship was then voluntarily pulled out by Judge Floro himself and sought the position again in June 1998. Here, the evaluation revealed psychological problems concerning mood swings, paranoia, self-esteem, perceptual distortions etc. Though he was once again deemed unfit for the position, his academic record convinced the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) to allow him a second opinion from independent medical groups. He was then appointed at the Regional Trial Court of Malabon. Judge Floro was said to hold hearings dressed in blue robes, instead of the usual black. The later only worn on Fridays to recharge his powers LUIS gave him. A report by a team sent by the Judicial branch stated that: "(b)efore the start of court session, Judge Floro is introduced as a private law practitioner, a graduate of Ateneo de Manila University with second honors, and a bar topnotcher during the 1983 Bar Examinations with an average score of 87.55%. Afterwards, a reading of the Holy Bible, particularly the Book of Revelation according to Saint John, was made. The people in the courtroom were given the opportunity to ask Judge Floro questions on the matter read. No questions were asked; hence the session commenced." 302 His interactions with LUIS, Armand and Angel were also questioned and interpreted as damaging to his practice. He can function and apply his skills in everyday and routine situations. However, his test protocol is characterized by disabling indicators. There is impairment in reality testing which is an indicator of a psychotic process.
302 (Office of the Court Administrator v. Floro, A.M. No. RTJ-991460 [2006])

He is unable to make an objective assessment and judgment of his milieu. Hence, he is apt to misconstrue signals from his environment resulting to perceptual distortions, disturbed associations, and lapses in judgment. Such that, cultural beliefs in dwarfs, psychic and paranormal phenomena and divine gifts of healing have become incorporated in a delusional (false and unshakable beliefs) system, that it has interfered and tainted his occupational and social functioning. Hence, he is found to be unfit in performing his court duties as a judge. 303 In 1999, the court handed down a decision to suspend Judge Floro and for him to undergo appropriate medical treatments performed by the relevant office of the Supreme Court or any recognized institutions. In 2006, it was resolved that: 1) FINE Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. in the total amount of FORTY THOUSAND (P40, 000.00) PESOS for seven of the 13 charges against him in A.M. No. RTJ-99-1460; 2) RELIEVE Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. of his functions as Judge of the Regional Trial Court, Branch 73, Malabon City and consider him SEPARATED from the service due to a medically disabling condition of the mind that renders him unfit to discharge the functions of his office, effective immediately; 3) As a matter of equity, AWARD Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr. back salaries, allowances and other economic benefits corresponding to three (3) years; 5) DISMISS the charge in A.M. No. 99-7-273-RTC (Re: Resolution Dated 11 May 1999 Of Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr.) for MOOTNESS. 304

451

However, Judge Floro has a different take on the decision. According to him, this is a FIRST in the Philippines, the Supreme Court has never removed a judge from office on the basis of paranormal, or religious belief. The psychosis that the SC refers to was based on the allegations that Judge Floro believes in fictional beings such as the elementals and angels of death. Included also is the belief that he causes sickness and the written prediction of the former presidents downfall. He says that he has never referred to imaginary elementals regarding any judicial decisions and has never included the word dwarf in any of it. He makes it clear that LUIS, ARMAND AND ANGEL ARE NOT LOWLY DWARVES OR GNOMES BUT SPIRIT GUIDES AND PROTECTORS THAT GOD CHOSE AS INSTRUMENTS TO RID THE PHILIPPINE JUDICIARY OF MISFITS AND ROTTEN EGGS, THOSE THAT FAIL TO DELIVER IMPARTIAL JUSTICE BECAUSE OF GRAFT MONEY. 305 Upon our communication with Judge Floro, he was still appealing the decision of the case. That the data we gathered were primarily first hand accounts of actual experiences with the supernatural the analysis of these events using an experienced-centred approach, and some views from phenomenology can be carried out. The analysis of the experience will be broken down into three parts: the first will focus on the sensorial stimulation of the encounters; the second would look into how these experiences have an element of concealment and the third will discuss the need for unravelling to fully experience these creatures. Sensorial Stimulation of Encounters phenomenology is also a philosophy which puts essences back into existence, and does not expect to arrive at an understanding of man and the world from any starting point other than that of their facticity.

305

(Damn Data, 2006)

452

It is a transcendental philosophy which places in abeyance the assertions arising out of the natural attitude, the better to understand them It tries to give a direct description of our experiences as it is, without taking account of its psychological origin and the causal explanations which the scientist, the historian or the sociologist may be able to provide. 306 To arrive at a description of the experiences that will, if not emulate what phenomenology prescribes, try to follow what has been stated previously the experiences will be looked at in terms of what senses were stimulated and will be grouped accordingly. In our analyses, we have found three main sensorial stimulations in encounters with the supernatural: visual, auditorial and olfactory. Vision Vision is simplest when the eye is held still. In studying vision there is a need to have the eye focus on a single spot and be exposed to momentary stimuli.307 Soderquist (2002) in introducing visual stimuli, starts out with discussing the energy of the universe: the energy striking the earth comes from the sun and beyond. It is in the form of radiation and travels at 186,000 miles per second (speed of light because it is light) and has the properties of waves and particles. The particles are called photons also reflects a very restricted spectrum used by the human visual sense near the middle is the narrow band of waves called the visible spectrum. Hence, the visible spectrum contains the necessary energy and electromagnetic waves (photons) to create our visual world. 308

306 307 308

(Merleau-Ponty, 1962:vii) (Gibson, 1986:1) (Soderquist, 2002:275)

453

Everything that is seen falls within the range of the visible spectrum, and that these objects have enough stimuli to penetrate our visual perception. This can be observed as one of the main traits of the experiences shared in our study. All of these have had an instance where they have seen the supernatural in their encounters. The supernatural comes in many forms, and one of the most peculiar ones that we must admit, does not fall into the usual descriptions of the Philippine Folkloric creatures, is their appearance as light. Guardians account of filming a kapre where the camera showed small lights near a tree which was then pointed out by Antonio Viverio as indications of the said folkloric being. LUIS, Armand and Angel, duwende in line with Gods angels, also emerge as lights to Judge Floro when not appearing in visions. But in some instances, the folkloric creatures appear as themselves and not as implied apparitions. Brals account saw the sigbin in its full form: as a dog walking backwards and was perceived without a head. The tikbalang also appeared to him as a half-man, half horse being with red eyes. Judge Floro says that LUIS, Armand and Angel also take(s) human form like a dirty elementary school boy, a dwende on a rock etc.309 Sometimes LUIS and the two would appear as have been quoted previously and will be quoted again: " small, but have bonitos, or bonnets or hats as reverence to God. LUIS' clothes are often violet but they also wear other colours. Armand appeared in a vision to me in the form of human MOST HANDSOME and loveable child of say 7 years of age, while LUIS, appeared as a King with violet hat, sitting on a stone 310

309 310

(letter to author, March 20, 2009) (Damn Data, 2006)

454

Guardian also says that the dwende may appear like "taong grasa"... Kapre is a huge human form full of hair from head to foot, it does have a cigar.311 However, some these manifestations are witnessed only by certain people. In Guardians account of healing a girl possessed by a duwende, the said girl saw the duwende waving at her after being driven out. LUIS, Armand and Angel appear only to those whom they want to appear to like Robert and Judge Floro. Auditorial Vibrations in the air are caused by movements of one or more objects. The pattern of these vibrations is caused by materials and actions that participated in the action. The human ears and brains have evolved to pick-up these patterns and vibrations and interpret them as sound.312 Sounds must be paired with information to determine its individual sources.313 To process this, the auditory system functions in three phases: reception, transduction and perception.314 The sound first impacts on the external receptors and gives off sympathetic vibrations. This would then be transmitted to the inner ear where it will be interpreted as neural impulses which are then sent to the brain to be interpreted as sounds with definite characteristics.
315

Given the variety of sources that give off these sounds, as in visual perception, context is important. What influences these sounds is important in its cognitive processing. Sensory information processing is then adjacent to symbolic information processing. 316

(Baker, 2005:220) (Yost, 2008:1) (Baker, 2005:223) (Baker, 2005:223) (Baker, 2005:225)

455

Sounds in certain contexts are then immediately attributed to certain sources. While standing guard over the grilling fish and while walking in the forest, Brals identifies the voice of the tikbalang or unglo and its tread, as it stepped on dead leaves. These two sounds which merged in a single event was then interpreted as signifiers of the presence of the tikbalang or unglo. The presence of different sounds that can be pieced together for a coherent event was also observed in his experience with the aswang. To summarize the incident, he first heard footfalls on the roof which stopped after some time and continued in the area surrounding the house. This, along with the time and the situation where it occurred and the events that happened after it such as the presence of blood around the house seen in the morning, created the conclusion that the sounds were indeed made by the aswang. Olfactory The conscious perception of an odor is not determined at the receptor level; rather, it is intimately entwined with cognition, emotion, and the high-order processes of experience and memory. 317 Unlike the previously mentioned senses, one cannot mentally simulate odour. While odour can immediately cause recollection of a specific event, one cannot induce ones self to smell from the minds nose like seeing from ones minds eye. Perceiving an odour happens side by side with a chemical stimulus, and when simulation is attempted without such stimulus difficulty is the only result that will be achieved. Another singular characteristic of odour is that while monitoring the surroundings, it immediately categorizes odours into two categories: those that can be approached and those that should be avoided.318 Rather than rewording Soderquist, as has been done in this paragraph, explanation of this thought will be understood better in his own words:
317 318

(Soderquist, 2002:144) (Soderquist, 2002:144)

456

If an odor is new and unfamiliar and is not immediately generalized as pleasant (flower or fruity), it is nearly always considered as unpleasant and placed in the avoidance classification. On the other hand, familiarity does not necessarily mean that there will be an approach to the source. If the odor has been associated with a stressful or unpleasant condition, the assignment of the odor, and the behaviour of the organism, will no doubt be toward the negative or avoidance category Once an odor is detected, the environmental event becomes associated with the odor and is stored in memory. The association of an odor with an environmental event can occur almost instantly. 319 Odour was not included in the accounts of experiences but it figures highly in the description of creatures. This can be seen in Guardians descriptions: Ang iba naman ay naaamoy ang mga espiritu gaya ng Kapre na mayroong hindi maipaliwanag na amoy, gaya ng aswang na may malansa at parang nabubulok na amoy.320 Guardian in his previous letter likens the unidentifiable smell to rotting meat, in the same letter he also describes the duwende as possessing the same smell as the kapre. 321 Movements and Touch Included in the sensorial experience involving the supernatural being are the movements and touch involved. The visual and aural perceptions take part in this experience in sensing the differences in stability and identifying the occurrence of movements.

319 320 321

(Soderquist, 2002:144) (Letter to author, March 26, 2009) (Letter to author, March 23, 2009)

457

This stimulation can be seen in Guardians experience involving a duwende playing with his hair. Included in the brief examples he gave us is the complaint of some of his patients about their beds being roughly shaken. Obscuring Common events do not stimulate every sense a person has. A person may experience a visual event, an auditory event, or a situation where every sense is involved. What makes the supernatural experience stand however, is the sort of obscuring that occurs on the cause of stimulations and the sensations that come with it. Fear lends a hand in the factor of obscuring a part of the situation. In the aswang experience of Brals, he and his cousin did not dare to investigate the footfalls they heard for fear of turning the aswangs attention to them. Thus, it was not known whether it was an aswang and if it really was, no visual description could be provided nor any other information regarding the being. The same is true for the sigbin encounter. While one wanted to investigate the being that they saw, he could not carry out his plan because all his friends have ran away from the place and he was pressured to the same as well. Manifestations are often symbolic in that the beings, already having attributed forms, appear different. Going back to the kapre encounter of Guardian, there was a visual experience however the lights did not completely show the form of the kapre. LUIS, Armand and Angel also appear as lights and would only reveal their selves through visions. The supernatural being experience sometimes may only hint on the presence of the being but not totally reveals it. Only sounds were heard during the night the unglo approached them while Brals while watched over the grilling fish, only lights were seen of the kapre, only shoes were left as the physical reminder of the presence of the duwende. The sensation that cannot be applied to the five senses can be included in this section.
458

There is an element of feeling the presence of the supernatural creatures, where the feeling is not in the same sense as feeling the prick of a needle. Feeling here is an aethereal-like sensing of the presence of beings; this feeling can be better understood if sited beside an example. Naramdaman ko ng presencia ng mga duwende noong nahandoon ako at nakikinig sila sa aming usapan. Nakapalibot sila sa amin ngunit hindi sila makalapit (mga itim). 322 It is in this sensation that obscurity can be seen best. There is a sense that something is there, yet none of the five senses can completely comprehend the sensation. This inadequacy, whether of the senses or of the knowledge of the situation, leads to an obscuring of a part of the event. Unraveling There is a call for unravelling to fully experience these creatures. Either a potential must be truly be recognized or a barrier must come down. This unravelling can come from either the person or from the creatures. Unravelling the Psychic sense Opening the third eye allows the person to have a broader experience with the supernatural beings. I do sense mystical creatures. But that time my third eye is not open yet. I can only feel that they are around me. 323 When this ability has not been opened or cultivated to its maximum potential then the best one can achieve is to only sense the creature. Some people believe in the existence of these beings, but dont know how to interact with them. In order to see and to interact with them you must develop your psychic senses or to have a psychic medium that can communicate with them. 324

322 323 324

(Guardian, 2009) (Letter to author, March 23, 2009) (Letter to author, March 23, 2009)

459

Like Brals cousin who already has an open third eye, people who have this active ability frequently interacts with the supernatural and may have no more need for a medium to communicate with this beings or to see them. The term opening means that there is already an existing space or object that requires the action. To open the third eye would then mean to activate a dormant ability that lies within the body. Says Guardian: Ang lahat ng tao ay may psychic abilities ngunit iilan lamang ang nakakaalam kung paano ito buksan o paganahin. May ilang tao naman na simula pagkabata pa lamang ay nakabukas na ang kanilang psychic abilities. Isa sa halimbawa nito ay ang mga bata..minsan may mga bata na makikita mong naglalaro, nagsasalitang mag isa na parang may kausap. Minsan ay nakikita sila na may itinuturo at sasabihing may tao doon o may mumu doon pero wala ka naman nakikita...Natututunan ba ang psychic ability??? Sabi ko nga lahat ng tao ay may taglay nito ngunit ilan lamang ang nakakapagbukas ng kapangyarihan nito. Sa pagkabata pa lamang ay nakabukas na ang ating mga psychic abilities..nagsasara ito dahil na din sa mas naeenganyo ang mga tao sa materyal kaysa sa espiritual Hindi balanse ang espiritual at ang materyal na aspeto kaya nawawala ang kamalayan dito.. Isa pa ay ang pagkakaroon ng takot kaya iwinawaksi nila ang kung anong kakayahan ang mayroon sila. 325 Unravelling the barrier between them and us This process relies on the beings whim to reveal themselves. From the accounts gathered, the beings choose who they will appear to and when.

325

(Letter to author, March 26, 2009)

460

According to Judge Floro: The elementals do show themselves only to those pre-destined/chosen before birth. 326 Those that have been chosen then act as instruments for these beings. The categorization that distance the folkloric beings from ourselves is collapsed by the former until the person they chose is no longer an other but is treated as a confidant or in some cases, inhabits the same space as them even the same body. They possess people based on their (the beings) own interntions and would only reveal themselves to these people. In this case, in the disintegration of self and other the concept of di-kaibang tao may come in or perhaps Covars banga metaphor. Since the person has been accepted by the folkloric beings and is no longer seen as a threat or someone who should not be accepted by them, then that person is made privy to information, such as the relationship between LUIS and Judge Floro, kept secret from others. Context For Dan Ben-Amos (1993) context is a value-free concept, and no one contextual situation is privileged over any other. Therefore, any investigative situation constitutes its own context, regardless of its approximation to any imagined or real researcher-free performance. 327 Context acts interpretively and sees the meanings attributed by the speakers and listeners as the meanings of the text itself.328 Therefore the meaning of a text is its meaning in context.329 Text is not limited to the written accounts of any event, idea or related concepts. In can be any situation that may be lived or acted.

461

Text can be any stimulant that makes contact with the senses and the perception that the brain forms is based on where these stimulants come from as well as the place and the situation. In looking at experiences, especially in those of a supernatural nature it is quite easy to ground the analyses of the experience in assumptions that immediately conclude that whatever was experienced was the result of the interpretation of stimulants based on stories and knowledge that one has heard and one possesses. This could be acceptable were it not for the fact that these assumptions would then lead to saying that the supernatural interpretations of experiences are false. David Hufford (1989) finds that some of the supernatural accounts recorded turn out to be real facts, such as the giant squid and the presence of little balls of fire that was then referred to as Saint Elmos Fire. Though the accounts had some questionable facts attached to them, these turned out to be foundations of widely-recognized facts today. There is no one context for all experiences, and experiences themselves are widely varies occurring in differing conditions from one another. Should there be any assumptions or conclusions derived from these, it should be based on how the experience came about and should consider the points and knowledge provided by the event and the person involved and not only of the observers. Folklore as Knowledge The accumulated experiences from the contributors of this study have allowed us researchers to explore on the experiential domain, with the aim not to confine the study with the mere demonstration of thoughts and narratives. With these, we associated the folkloric beliefs and possible motives focusing them on the liminality and their meanings in the contributors different perspectives and receptions regarding these experiences with the elementals and supernatural phenomena. The next level shall be an attempt to show folklore as knowledge that illustrates experience as a representation of the marriage of Christian knowledge and folkloric beliefs.
462

There was also an additional reflection regarding, ironically, of the role of science within the experiences and viewpoints gathered by the contributors. From the literature, Meez said that in Aklan, a myth influenced by Christianity links the engkantos with the fallen angels330. Being colonized by the Spaniards for hundreds of years, Christianity imparted to us is inevitably infused to the Filipino culture to date. In fact, the word encanto means enchantment in Spanish and the Spanish chroniclers during the colonial period referred to the spirits as nono, diwata, anito and tumao331 which are terms still used today. The first settlers in the Philippines once practice pure animistic religion. Before Christianity, nature is considered sacred and a lot of the rituals and prayers pertain to the environment. According to an online source: Records made by Spanish settlers and missionaries, and existing tribal religion, show that the indigenous Filipinos believed in a supreme sky god, or creator god. This god was invisible, his name was sacred and only spoken during rituals, and no images of him were made. He was believed to be so far from humanity that contact was often made via lower deities, in the form of prayers and rituals.332 A number of indigenous groups in the country still practice animistic religion although a lot of the prayers and rituals were already infused with Christianity. The primitive religion being practiced before and Christianity today have some similar philosophies like the concept of the trinity:

330 331 332

(Meez, 1996: 64) (Meez, 1996: 64) (OMF, retrieved March 31, 2009)

463

There was also belief in a kind of trinity of gods. Beneath the sky-god was his son, who was usually associated with the sun. There was also another god who was a kind of inherent spirit. (Although this belief bears some similarity to Christian ideas, it also has parallels in Hinduism and Pacific religions.)333 And also the concept of life after death, and the places where souls land on their second life the good goes to heaven and the bad goes to hell: Most Filipino tribes believed in life after death, and the widespread belief was in a heaven for the good and a hell for the bad. Heaven and hell were generally thought to be divided into different levels, through which the soul could move by gaining merit.334 One of our contributors, Judge Floro, claims that LUIS, being the King of the King of elementals, together with Armand and Angel, are all good elementals sent by God and that they are all white elementals, are white or good angels of God who won against Lucifer in the great battle of the heavens, when God threw Lucifer into hell.335 Furthermore, if we are to recall, Judge Floro adds: but as Angels, LUIS is just an official of the Army of Mary, the Queen of Heaven, who crushes the serpent Lucifer. So, the higher level is that of the saints.336 Notice that in Judge Floros narrative, we can incur the concept of holy beings having different levels or position that serve as indirect contacts to God or to the holiest of all.

Like how Catholics pray to the Virgin Mother or to several saints asking help for their prayers to reach God. The same concept occurred in animistic religion, as cited earlier, He [God] was believed to be so far from humanity that contact was often made via lower deities, in the form of prayers and rituals.337 The duwendes or elementals like LUIS, Armand and Angel can be considered lower deities who are, in a liminal sense, more powerful than humans but also less powerful than God. With this at hand, the concept of liminality also prevails in the potency of the elementals. They are capable to bring harm or luck and interfere in a persons life. This is mentioned by one of our contributors, Brals Labrador, who believes that these creatures are indeed powerful: Siguro i-respeto mo na lang sila [elementals]. Kasi kung lalabanan mo, ikaw ang lugi eh. Hindi mo sila maalis sa mundo kasi siguro kasama na nating [nabuhay sila] dito sa mundo. [Makpangyarihan sila] kasi nagagawa nilang parusahan tayo eh. Kapag sumosobra na tayo sa ganitohalimbawa sa Tikbalang pwede kang tubuan ng pantal-pantal o kung anodoon sa aminkaya nakakatakot sila.338 Yet, they can also be punished by humans through the power of prayers directed to God. This is reflected in Guardians account, regarding the possession of a red duwende to an 18-year old girl: Sinasapian siya ng isang dwendeng pulaPinaalis ko ang salbaheng dwende sa tulong na din ng pagdadasal. 339

And also if we will recall, another account by Guardian, regarding a home with white (good) and black (bad) duwendes and he managed to drive the black duwendes away where he said, Binasbasan ko ang kanilang bahay at lumayo ang mga itim.340 With the fusion of Christianity and primitive religion, a lot of the modern ideas and beliefs today regarding the supernatural contain elements of nature - the spatial representation and dwelling places of the said creatures - and the sacredness that these creatures have being almost parallel to the sacredness of God we know in Christianity. The elementals are somewhat untouchables. Brals Labrador, who does not have a very strong sensorial connection with the elementals unlike the sensitivity or the clear awareness of their presence for the other two contributors, Judge Floro and Guardian, regard these creatures as real and feels obligated to respect them mostly out of fear. According to Brals: Halimbawa may madadaanan kaming punsong maliit lang, iiwasan namin yan. Tapos yung sa mga puno, hindi kami bastanagpuputol, kasi malamang may mga nakatira doon. Bilang respeto namin siguro, di na kami naglalabas pag gabi. Kasi pag nagtatakip-silim, di na kami pinapatakbo kasi baka makabangga kami ng di nakikita.341 But the similar point with all the contributors is that they all believe that these elementals are beyond our dimension. Like God or the apparitions of the saints or the Virgin Mary in religious accounts, they still manage to make themselves visible for an esoteric purpose that no human can completely comprehend this again puts them in a more abstruse level. Recalling an explanation by Judge Floro about LUIS:

340 341

(letter of Guardian to the author, March 26, 2009) (Labrador, Personal communication, March 2009)

466

LUIS has no plane or area, He is at STATE, not time no space just pure light but takes human form like a dirty elementary school boy, a dwende on a rock etc. These are just allowing me to see them = piercing the veil of invisibility.342 Interestingly, a bit of science was also infused particularly in the accounts shared by Judge Floro. According to him, LUIS was the reason why the actual experiment using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is one, if not, the most controversial experiment in physics today. The Large Hadron Collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with the intention of testing various predictions of high-energy physics, including the existence of the hypothesized Higgs-boson.343 This certain experiment, if successful, will help answer the ultimate questions in both quantum physics and cosmology. If the physicists found what they are looking for, it would greatly help in answering how the universe started this experiment is like recreating the Big Bang, which as the theory suggests, everything was once a single point in space and time, time being equal to 0. However, on September 19, 2008, the operations were halted due to a serious fault between two superconducting bending magnets.344 This, according to Judge Floro, will be prevented by LUIS to happen: This collider is the latest to go beyond time and space towards LUIS' violet light, but it failed, postponed to September 2009, but it will be blocked by LUIS, they cannot go nearer this Violet light345 The violet light may be the representation of the holiness of God or the Supreme Being.

(letter of Floro to author, March 20, 2009) (Wikipedia, 2009) (letter of Floro to author, March 20, 2009) (letter of Floro to author, March 20, 2009)

The violet light, being at the far end of the spectrum meaning it is unreachable. Long before, God is seen as sacred and shall remain incomprehensible to the point that even an image of him is impossible to visualize. As believed by our indigenous people performing animistic religion, this god was invisible, his name was sacred and only spoken during rituals, and no images of him were made.346 Only now, with the coming of Christianity and modern beliefs brought about by other religions and cultures, God was given an image so people can relate to one they worship. This is in fact can be associated again to the previously mentioned claims about LUIS who takes on a form to be understood: LUIS has no plane or area, He is at STATE, not time no space just pure light but takes human form like a dirty elementary school boy, a dwende on a rock etc. This perception by Judge Floro may be associated with the fact that being able to recreate the beginning of the universe, which was the attempt of the said physics experiment, is already like reading the mind of God. With this at hand, being able to read the mind of God means being able to completely solve the puzzle and having the possibility to control outcomes and in turn meddle with Gods plan which, implicitly according to Judge Floro, is forbidden. Conclusion Folklore can be looked at in various ways but its contexts and elements should be considered very carefully. There exists an interaction between folklore and the human receiving, transmitting and maintaining these. The roles of the latter should not be discounted as these may be considered folklore in themselves. It is not limited to written texts, folklore can be seen in lived situations as well such as the experiences discussed.

Folklore is a body of knowledge and these experiences may very well become a part of it as builds up what we know about these beings and makes up for the bases of how these events will be looked at. It is not also limited to the fictional but draws from the existing contexts for its truth and validity. The factor of the folklore participant here is also crucial as the meanings that they attribute to their situations can be seen as the truths themselves. The experiences also serve as illustrations in the disintegration of existing interfaces between categories. Indigenous knowledge merges with religious belief and these then are mixed with scientific explanations. No longer here do they exist as separate bodies of knowledge or separate schools of thought but here they form a single solid body from where concepts and ideas are derived from. As previously mentioned, the truth of the belief can be considered negligible in studying folklore. We think that before one should proceed in questioning the validity of statements offered by people, the interpretations should be grounded in proper context and not twisted to suit the ideologies of some; to prove that supernatural belief is a farce or that scientific belief is no better than religious belief. Also, a sound study must be conducted first on the interactions of these stories with the people and the body of knowledge that is produced in the process. REFERENCES:

Haring Elegante and Henrietta Williamson Van Arsdale On June 3, 2010, or 27 years from the first night when LUIS, Armand and Angel appeared to Robert Velasquez Floro, a suffering soul from New Jersey e-mailed Judge Floro on her dire sufferings amid her account of duendes. Her letter and Judge Floros reply are reproduced hereunder: Dear Judge Floro: I am a Filipino American who was born and raised in Lucena, Quezon, Philippines. After finishing college in UST and worked for 5 years in an advertising firm in Makati, I went to the US and have been here since I first arrived here in 1982. To make a long story short, I got married and started a family here in the US although I married the wrong man turning my life upside down. I married a cruel white American man who treated me really bad. Thank God I was able to get out of that bad marriage. But that is not why I am writing you. I have been away from our country for a long time that I missed the news about you. I am appalled at the things they did to you. I am so sorry for your pain and suffering all these years. Dwendes also lived in our house in Lucena. We lived at 2 Merchan St, Lucena City. Your dwarf friends must know the dwendes who lived with us. His name is Haring Elegante and his family who lived under our stairs, which was partially made of red marble (3 steps) and the rest of the stairs were made of wood. These marble steps along with the wooden ones would turn hot at times, according to my mother who would feel it the warmth and was really scared at times. One of the dwendes showed himself to me but it was very quick.
473

One evening around 6PM, I saw a white figure standing beside me, and at first I thought it was our cat, but it was standing upright so I looked again, and it was a dwende wearing somewhat a brown leather vest. He ran so fast towards out front door and then vanished. One night about 4 dwendes also appeared in my dream and they were trying to give me a shiny, golden color piece about 4 inches long by half an inch wide. I didn't refuse the gift but I told hem I will accept it a a later date but could not think of a reason myself why I did not accept it hat night. I had 4 young kids at that time who quit my job here in the US to take care of my ailing mother then. When my mother passed, I had no choice but to sell our house because my poor mother was in debt and instead of letting the bank take it, I just sold it. I was very sad when I left as I know I will lose my dwendes, I am writing you if you could ask your friend LUIS and his friends if it is still possible for him to help me locate the dwendes who lived with us in our house in Lucena. I would like to invite them to visit us or stay with us here in the US. Also, I would like to ask you and LUIS a favor. I was diagnosed with a left bundle branch block in my heart. I would like to ask you and LUIS for your help if he can heal my high blood pressure and to remove the block from my heart. I know his violet rays can heal me. Please extend my plea to him. I would also like to ask you if I will be promoted to a higher position in my department. I have been working so hard over the years as a single parent and have been struggling financially for so long. I raised 5 kids on my own. Life is really unfair and hard sometimes. We are currently residing in Bergenfield, New Jersey but I would like to ask you and LUIS if I should move back to California and should I leave my very controlling and demanding boss at work and move to another company.
474

I am scared to do this because I am already 56 years old, so I would just like to ask you and LUIS for your thoughts and advice. Another thing po, Judge Floro, I have been feeling that there is some paranormal spirit like dwende or fairy in our house, if I am not mistaken. Our small dog was reacting to a particular wall in my room and one time, I got so scared that I sprinkled some holy water on that wall and told whoever it was to please leave. The next two weeks after that, I was diagnosed with my heart block. i was thinking that the spirit did it out of anger about the holy water and my telling him to leave. Please advise me. I know you will know and LUIS will know what I should do. Please heal me, Judge Floro. I was born in August 16, l953 and my full name is Henrietta Williamson Van Arsdale (maiden namedon't be surprised - my father was a mestizo from Indang, Cavite). My mother was Caridad Sales from San Juan, Batangas. I am a devoted Catholic. My married name is Van Arsdale. Thank you very much, Judge Floro, I sincerely wish you the best and hopefully they will re-instate you one day. Hopefully, sana nga po, Judge Floro. Sincerely yours in Christ, Henrietta Williamson Van Arsdale <[email protected]> Dear Henrietta, Its 12:00 noon this Thursday, June 03, 2010 here at Malolos City, Bulacan. I had been (almost 10 times) there in Lucena City.
475

I enjoyed the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus is a crustacean found in the waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Coast of Central America and the Gulf of Mexico and Lucena, Alaminos) there like in Alaminos, Pangasinan. I ate there at the Chinese resto and had some fresh fish from market cooked at a store. I cant forget the Lucban habhab, chami, and good foods there, including Tayabas Palaisdaan, etc. See my blogs below and the pics. In 1966, when I was in St. Vincents seminary, Valenzuela, we went there in Lucena at Sacred Heart College run by the D.C.; my classmate was Mr. Ed Bonus. You must read my book and story to know what destiny is and that we must not complain, for we cannot do anything to change our destiny even if we choose a path. We do not know the ways of God. Trust me, St. Bernadette was told by Our Lady of Lourdes, that I do not promise you happiness in this earth, thus she asked for the bone tumor amid hatred and ridicule by envy nuns who were so angry even after her death; until today, her body is the most incorrupt ever. Ask for more sufferings in this broken world of materialism, and you will have peace in your soul, like me. Although, I write in a vivid style of anger, it is just poetic, but inside, if you read my mystic travels, you will know that we are mere servants of Mary and the Eucharist, due to dire sufferings. As I stated, repeatedly, LUIS is the King of kings of all elementals in the universe, and all kings are under him; but like in Malacanang Palace, ordinary mortals like you cannot just get an appointment from him. In fact, I myself am only renting a house and was jobless since July 20, 1999 due to a pretend world even if I earned lots of Ateneo Honors.
476

It is their inconvenient truth and I must lived and suffer amid their joys and glory. There are as many duendes as we are populated, and there are lots of ranks and jobs. So, as I said, only LUIS has these Violet lights to fight the blacks or evil by means of sufferings. Duendes are so high tech aliens that they only appear to those whom they wish to befriend at and hindi mo sila mauungusan, tuso sila 100x sa atin. I myself was offered by LUIS to dig the treasure, but I chose him, since I desire that he should give me the same IN TIME, for he has already bestowed upon my soul immortality and what more should I ask for? LUIS is everywhere I would go, and is at your side, but his ways are not our ways. I cannot do anything positive to help you as I did prophecy for these greedy justices and others who later on failed. There is a law under LUIS Kingdom of Peace, that if ever I would bestow a positive thing like good help or material benefit, I would be hated, and the one receiving would later on suffer more. Tuso sila. LUIS is only for myself and Robert and as King, he did help materially to the greatest extent my 2 brothers Benjamin and Jesie as they became so wealthy, and LUIS has taken all from me on March 1, 1996 so that I could enter his Kingdom of Peace in Christ. There is nothing more powerful on earth against evil than the Holy Rosary blessed by a Catholic priest with his holy water and worn 24/7 lifetime in our necks. She crushed the serpent. BTW, my brothers Robert and Benjamin spent a one day P 20,000 vacation at Laya, Batangas, Acautico resort last year (Acuatico Beach Resort | Laiya, San Juan, Batangas, Philippines - A premium Leisure Resort - Philippines. www.acuaticoresort.com.ph/).

477

Do not believe in horoscope and hula hula, they are from the devil. If you come to the Philippines, I can do free card reading if you need and on your illnesses, pray and see the best doctor, these sufferings are given to us against evil. VTY, Judge Florentino Floro ( [email protected] ) Mahiwagang Daigdig ng mga Duwende Panibagong Simula Submitted by confradia on April 26, 2010 - 5:11pm. Si Romy Antonio ang napili nilang 'Instrumento' About 1985, Judge Floro (upon info by Mr. Dick Alarilla and his mother) visited this fortune-teller. He claims to have duendes. His story is worth noting in this book. Si Ginoong Roman Antonio ay ipinganganak sa Barrio San Jose, Navotas Rizal sa isang payak na pamumuhay at sa kaunting pag-buhos ng ulan itoy lumulubog sa tubig. Lumipat ang buo nilang pamilya sa Panghulo, Obando, Bulacan at dito nag simula ang isang pambihirang kasaysayan ng kanyang buhay. Dun sa bakuran na yaon sa buwan ng Nobyembre 1969 sa isang punong manggang bumagsak dahil sa dumadaang bagyong "Yoling" at sa walang humpay na pag-kahol ng kanilang alagang mga aso. Si Romy bilang isang mabait at masunurin na anak ay nautusan ng kanyang mga magulang na tignan ano ang nagaganap sa kanilang bakuran. Halos mag a-alaskuwatro na ng umaga, bitbit ang isang ilawan de baterya. Kanyang nakita ang mga maliit na "tao" at hanay-hanay silang sumusunod sa isang lider na may dalang isang supot.
478

Sa idad na tatlumpung-taon si Romy o Kuya Romy, tawag sa kanya ng nakakarami ay pinaki-usapan ng mga duwende na kung maa-ari na sana siya ay gawin nilang daan upang makatulong sa mga taong na ngangailangan lalo na ang mga mahihirap at may sakit..sa umpisa siya ay tumangi at nangatuwiran na hindi siya marunong gumawa ng mga kakaibang bagay na tulad na kanilang pinagagawa. At iniwan niya ang mga duwende. Subalit sa pahigpit na pakiusap at madalas na pag papakita sa kanya siya ay sumang-ayon..noon akala niya ay pitong taon lamang ngunit ito lumawig pa hanggang ngayon. Siya ay pinalulon ng apat na bato upang magkaroon ng pambihirang kapangyarihan ito ay ang mga sumusunod: Pagggamot sa mga sakit na wala ng lunas na tulad ng cancer, mga pilay na nakalakad, may mga diabetes, at mga nabubulag. Pagkakaroon ng X-ray vision ang kanyang mga mata para makita ang loob ng katawan ng tao. Kapangyarihan makita ang nakalipas, pangkasalukuyan at kinabukasan ng mga taon nag papabasa sa "mahiwagang baraha". Kapangyarihan upang nawawalang tao o bagay. makita ang mga

Bago nangyari ang kakaibang pag-inog ng mundo ni Roman Antonio sa mundo ng mga Duwende. Si Kuya Romy ay nakapagtapos ng Bachelor Degree of Science in Aministration sa Mapua Institute of Technology. Naging Accounting Clerk sa Magnolia noon sa Quiapo at ipadadala sa Michigan USA sa buwan ng Disyembre 1969. Pero mas ninanais niyang maging "instrumento' ng kabutihan para makatulong sa mga dukha, nag dadalamhati, nawawalan ng pag-asa at higit sa lahat upang turuan mag-dasal at mapalapit sa Maykapal ang mga taong naliligaw at nakaklimot tumawag sa Maykapal.
479

Siya ngayon ay naninirahan kasama ang kanyang may bahay na si Carmelita Gerella at ang kanilang dalawang anak na sila Uchie at Boy na ngayon ay may sarili na ring mga pamilya. Sa Santos Subdivision, Valenzuela Bulacan, Ito ay napapalibutan ng isang magandang hardin at doon ay nakatita rin ang ibang mga puting duwende at dito rin matatagpuan ang bahay ni Haring Calixto o 'Tatang' tawag sa nakakarami. May isa rin tahanan sa likod kung saan dito ginaganap ang 'mass reading' o pag babasa sa 'mahiwagang baraha' dito ay makikita ang human size ng Mahal Na Birhen Maria kung saan kami ay nag darasal o ginagamot. Si Haring Calixto o 'Tatang' ay hindi na lumayo sa loob ng hardin ni Kuya Romy nandoon siya noon panahon ng kami ay halos nawawalan ng pag-asa at nakalugmok sa paghihirap..nagbibigay ng mga ginintuan aral..at ngayon nandiyan pa rin siya sa panahon na halos kami ngayon ay matagumpay na sa buhay.. Si Tatang Calixto ay walang sawang nag hihintay. nananabik sa pagbabalik ng kanyang mga anak na natulungan. Hayaan ninyo maikli kong isalaysay ang buhay niya umpisa sa dating librong "Mahiwagang Daigdig ng mg Duwende" at ang buhay niya mula ng makilala ko siya taong 1981 hanggang ngayo. Hihintayin ko kayo ..pinamagatan "Haring namin".347 sa susunod na pahina Calixto ang 'Tatang'

'Haring Calixto ang 'Tatang' namin. Submitted by confradia on May 20, 2010 - 2:00pm. "Si Leo Parungao na gumawa ng libro noong 1978 tungkol sa totoong buhay ng mga duwende ay maraming pag kakataon nakasama at nakaniig sa mga panulat si Haring Calixto at ibang mga puting duwende. Si Haring Calixto noon ayon sa libro ay Hari ng Rizal at lubhang napakagandang humabi ng mga salita na nag bibigay ng magandang aral. Siya at ang iba ay malalim mangusap o masiadong traditional na tagalog ang bawat salita ngunit na kakaantig sa puso ng sino man ang kanyan mga sinasabi...sayang at halos wala na ang librong ito..sana mabasa ninyo kung gaano kalalim ang mga salita ng mga duwende...Si Haring Calixto ay nag mula sa Cebu at umibig din sa ilang pagkakataon. Maunawain at mapagbigay...Taon 1981 siya ang unang sumulat sa akin..siya rin ang nag sabing ako ay aalis patungong ibang bansa at nag bigay ng isang pulang supot na ang laman ay ang Santo Nino kasama ang pitong diyes. Si Haring Calixto ay nag sasa katawang tao din at nag aanyong pulubi sa langsangan at bilang tao siya rin ay gumagamit ng pangalan at apelyido. Mahilig siyang makinig at humiling ng awitin lalo na kay Kuya Romy isa sa paborito niyang kanta ay ' Matud Nila' at sa kantang banyaga ay ang 'The Nearness of You' sa mga nahilingan niyang umawit siya'y natutuwa at minsan nga pa ay nag bibigay ng ibat-ibang klaseng delalidad na mga bato. Masaya at puno ng halakhakan ang munting kapilyang yaon. Sa pag daan ng maraming taon siya ay muling umibig at nag pakasal sa isang dating puting duwendeng may 'katarayan' pero mabait..si Estrelita. Nang panahon na yaong siya ay hinirang bilang Hari na ng buong Pilipinas.
481

Subalit sa maagang pag panaw ni Estrelita si Haring Calixto ay dumalang ang pag susulat sa mahiwagang baraha at ang lahat ay nakidalamhati at nalungkot sa trahedyang nangyari sa buhay ni Haring Calixto. At dumating ang panahon na ang kanyang pagiging isang Hari ay kanyang iniwan at ibinigay sa isang nararapat na puting duwende upang mamuno sa kanilang kaharian...Dahil sa mga pag subok na dumaan sa buhay niya..lagi pa rin niyang inuuna ang kanyang mga ''anak' na may mga problema..kaya di nag laon siyay tinawag naming 'Tatang'..isang ama na sa kabila ng katawang pag hihirap ay higit pang inuna ang mga taong nag hihintay ng isang pag-tulong..At kahit minsan di siya naging maramot sa kabila ng sakit na kanyang nararamdaman.. Ilang beses na rin halos nabingit sa kamatayan si Haring Calixto, isang gabi pag katapos ng 'mass reading' kung saan siya ang sumulat ay may ilang patak ng dugo sa puting marble tiles ang aming nakita at yung ay galing sa sugat mula kay Tatang..operasyon sa kanyang mga mata di nag laon tuluyan na siyang nabulag at nalumpo ngunit hanngang ngayon ay lumalaban na mabuhay alang-alang sa mga iba pang nandun at nakikinig sa kanyang walang kamatayan mga panulat. Sa aking pag babalik na halos 20 years mula sa ibang bansa isang ama..si Tatang ay nag hihintay, sa kayang katandaan siya ay nandiyan pa rin..walang sawang nag mamahal." Ang binawian ng tulong ng mga Duwende Submitted by confradia on May 24, 2010 - 8:30pm. "Ang mga Puting duwende ay mababit na kaibigan ngunit di ninyo napapansin sila ay nakatira saan man parte ng inyong bahay or sa bakuran sa inyong mga puno at halaman.
482

Isa na rito ang isang babaeng tinulungan ng isang Prinsipe na nakatira sa ilalim ng kanilang papag at siya ay pinatama sa sweepsteks at nag kamal ng maraming salapi. Ang babaeng itoy pinahanap ni Haring Calixto kay Leo Parungao upang ma-interview. Sinabi niya na siya'y Binayayaan ng langit upang magkaroon ng kapangyarihan manggamot noon at makatulong sa mahihirap subalit pinigilan siya ng kanyang asawa sa paniniwalang "wala daw naman kahihinatnan at ito daw ay may kapalit" tinalikuran niya ang panggamot dahil dito. Isa pa sila naman ay may pera na. taong 1968 nasaksak ang kanyang anak na lalaki at itoy namatay.. ang naipon na salapi ay ginamit nila upang ipangbayad sa kaso..subalit ito ay naubos..ang karangyaan na bigay ng prinspe ay binawi at siya ay bumalik sa dati niyang buhay..Sayang! na regalo ng bigay ng mga duwende..."348 The Deeper Border by Ricardo de los Santos in Paranormal, March 10, 2009 "In the waters or in the deep roots of ancient trees one could not simply point at the deeper border where the elemental spirits dwell. One must understand more the meaning of the middle earth. With more spirits joining in the fray, one could not help but think about how much quanta their energy could unleash and from what dimension they could probably be from. Consider the dwarves and what former cabinet Leo Parungao wrote about them.

It must be quite a feat, knowing their civilizations and cultures as deeply rooted as subterrranean cities underneath the earth. Mr. Parungao could easily pass as humankinds extraordinary envoy to these kingdoms beneath. Perhaps so, had we not determined it to be inappropriate to deal with spirits. Commonly, the herbolarios or medicos would classify the dwarves by their appearances as they appear to men. The white dwarf is usually identified as the good dwarf. The black dwarf, as its anti-thesis is usually red and brown. Individuals sighted on earth mounds similar to termite mounds are classified as nuno sa punso. The Spanish speaking countries have them as the dwende the Irish namedthem the leprechaun and in Scandinavia, they are the cute and ugly trolls. Precisely, their likeness has been welcomed in homes for children to play with and ornament in the living room, the car and even the garden. But black or white, cute or otherwise, this writer sees no distinction. Black or white, cute or otherwise; men are men; made in the image of God. We could not say the same to be true with dwarves. These inhabitants of the world below are elementals of the earth and they do not communicate with men to offer man salvation. On the contrary, they seduce and captivate humans and make slaves out of them. They accept the blood and sacrificial lives; they hold captive the souls given them for their pleasure. Consider, too, the fairies that had excited the imagination of people as early as childhood days, e.g. the fairy tales. There is always the fairy godmother or simply the good foiry who will always assist men in dire straits a la deux ex machine. But in spite of the benevolence accorded them, people should not forget the basic truth about them. They are not created in the image of God and like other elementals are not expected to work for the salvation of the human soul.

In the waters or in the deep roots of ancient trees one could not simply point at the deeper border where the elemental spirits dwell. But here, one now understands more the meaning of the middle earth. But of course, cavorting with the elementals had always been exciting. There would be instances of these spirits inviting humans into their dimension. There was a doctor in Samar who assisted in the childbirth of a mother. When he tried to trace the whereabouts of the modern village he went to it was in the midst of the mountain in the thickest woods. He had assisted in the childbirth of a fairy! And yet there are times when they offer a far greater technology. This writer was asked if he would like one of his deaf pupils to be operated on down below where they have better technology so that he could hear again. This writer say no. Thanks, but, no thanks. They report of UFO sightings from the Banahaw range, and even over Pila, Laguna (a line formation is indeed apt in Pila). Pila means a queue in Tagalog. This writer had seen a UFO on land. But he was not offered a ride by the aliens but by elemental spirits. And this is the reason why he does not believe in extraterrestrials from outer space. These are spirits from inner space."349 Dwarves really exits The real Dwarves The Mystifying world of dwarves opens up that there is something that surrounds us since the beginning of time.

XI. With Due Respect: Filipino Dwarf Jurist Retains the Legal Title of Philippine Judge Until Eternity

487

LUIS, Armand and Angels Pet Human Retains Judge Title under Philippine/International Laws Philippine Chief Justice Artemio V. Panganiban succinctly wrote a legal opinion on the proper use of titles of jurists: WITH DUE RESPECT

How to address Filipino magistrates

By Artemio V. Panganiban, Inquirer, 06/10/2007351 MANILA, Philippines To help celebrate the 106th birthday of the Supreme Court tomorrow, let me write on the etiquette of how to address magistrates. While presiding in their courtrooms, magistrates of whatever rank are addressed formally as Your Honor and, when referring to them in the third person, as His (or Her) Honor. In areas that follow British traditions, they are addressed formally as Your Lordship. Addressing justices and judges. Many countries do not make distinctions. Regardless of their rank in the judicial totem pole, jurists are invariably called judges. However, in our country, there is a marked distinction between justices and judges. Presiders of lower courts, namely, regional trial courts, metropolitan trial courts, municipal trial courts and shariah courts are given the title of Judge. However, members of appellate courts, namely, the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Sandiganbayan and Court of Tax Appeals, are properly addressed as Justice, or more formally as Mr. (or Madame) Justice. Appellate magistrates are often offended when they are called Judge. It is equivalent to calling a general, Colonel.

488

Members of the Supreme Court are sometimes referred to as associate justices. In fact, in Supreme Court decisions, they sign above their printed names, under which is printed the appellation Associate Justice. This practice is derived from the constitutional provision (Article VIII, Sec. 4) stating that the Supreme Court shall be composed of a Chief Justice and fourteen Associate Justices. Be that as it may, I think that, unless necessitated by the context of the situation, the word associate should be dropped. I remember in one trip abroad, three members of our Supreme Court were introduced as associate justices and the host was heard to complain, Why did the Philippines not send full-fledged members of their highest court when they confer with us? In some countries, Supreme Court members have different ranks: research justices, assisting justices, associate justices and (full) justices. Even in our country, associate justices are often misunderstood and likened to associate professors or, worse, associates in a law firm. So, it is better to say Justice (or Mr. Justice) Adolfo S. Azcuna, rather than Mr. Associate Justice Azcuna. Addressing the Chief Justice. By the same token, the head of the Philippine judiciary is called Chief Justice. So, it is inappropriate to say Justice Reynato S. Puno. Appropriately, he should be addressed as Chief Justice (or Mr. Chief Justice) Puno. In intimate conversations, he is fondly called Chief. That is how members of the Court and his close friends call him, never by his first name only. Retired members of our Supreme Court are never addressed as ex-justice or, worse, ex judge. In fact, it is inadvisable to call them former or past justice. The proper and accepted way is retired Justice, as in retired Justice Jose A. R. Melo, not former Justice Melo or exJustice Melo. The maxim is: once a justice, always a justice. Judicial titles are similar to Attorney, which is granted to people who pass the bar exams. The appellation stays with the grantee even after retirement from the active practice of law.
489

And regardless of any new job or occupation they may occupy after retirement, they carry their appellations up to their grave. Exception: the titles of Attorney, Judge and Justice can no longer be used by those who had been disbarred, or fired from the judiciary. Never say ex. Per the foregoing etiquette, never say ex-Chief Justice Andres R. Narvasa. That is judicial sacrilege. It may imply that he had been fired! Say, retired Chief Justice or simply Chief Justice Narvasa. In letters or other printed matter, he can be addressed as Chief Justice Andres R. Narvasa (ret.). Also, do not simply call him Justice. There are thousands of justices, incumbent and retired, in our country. But there are only 22 chief justices, 21 retired and one incumbent, in the history of the Philippines. The Supreme Court is quite strict with the use of the titles Justice and Judge. In three formal en banc resolutions (See JBC No. 001, Re: JBC Emoluments, July 9, 1996), it has banned the use of these titles by officials outside the judiciary; and even by judicial officials who do not decide justiciable controversies. In short, these titles may be used only by those who adjudicate cases in the four rungs of the judicial hierarchy. Even those given by law the ranks of judges and justices cannot use those titles, unless prior to their appointment to these equivalent positions, they have already earned those appellations in the judicial hierarchy. Consequently, it is improper for the solicitor general or the government corporate counsel or other similarly situated officials to allow themselves to be called Justice, unless priorly authorized to do so by an earlier appointment to the judiciary. Example: Alfredo L. Benipayo used the title Justice during his term as court administrator, Comelec chair and solicitor general because, earlier, he was a Court of Appeals member. *** Comments are welcome at [email protected]

Judges Gone Wild! # Trial judge Florentino Floro was fired by the Philippines supreme court in April, and his appeal rejected in August, after investigators found that he had claimed to rely on three mystic dwarves (Armand, Luis and Angel) for psychic powers and the ability to write while in a trance. (Floro protested media accounts of his firing to The Wall Street Journal in July, denying that dwarves helped him decide cases and writing that Armand, Luis and Angel are merely "spirit guides" and that he himself is "gifted" from God "to heal and to prophesy.")

Floro lost his appeal to keep his job as a judge, with the Supreme Court of the Philipppines ruling that dalliance with dwarves would erode the publics esteem of the judiciary and make it an object of ridicule.

NEWS AT A GLANCE Church and state and elves The Supreme Court of the Philippines fired trial court Judge Florentino Floro, who says he regularly consults with three invisible elves, after determining that Floro suffers from psychosis. A year later, Floro is a national celebrity and Supreme Court members and their families are reportedly becoming seriously ill and getting in car accidents. And a number of Filipinos apparently agree with Floro that his relationship with the elves -- Angel, Armand, and Luis -- has no bearing on his work. "It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand, and Angel," Floro says.

Via Cosmic Variance and the BBC, we learn that noted legal scholar Florentino Floro has lost his appeal and is now officially removed from the Filipino bench. I note this partially because it's fun to laugh at the idea of a judge consulting three mystic dwarves to help him perform psychic healings during downtime in the courtroom. It's also amusing that the BBC felt that they needed to add the word "imaginary" to the phrase "mystic dwarves", just to make things clear. However, I think the real victim in this case might the intelligent design folks. An en banc hearing with Floro, Armand, Luis and Angel could have given them the legal victory that they've been denied so far here in the States. The usual. And then some.359 Incoherent. Ridiculous.

Shortly after the burning, the man met a tragic death. Native Igorots, who believed in the existence and power of ansisit, concluded it was a form of retaliation by the invisible creatures. This unusual demise of a villager involving ansisit belonging to the unseen world was confirmed by video-cameraman Edward Sacgaca of the Philippine Information Agency and a native of Gonogon, Bontoc, Mt. Province, where the incident happened late March this year. Incidentally, Sacgaca was the one who hired the man to continue the stonewalling of his farmland at Sitio Palinga-aw where the Balite tree was located. He declined to identify the hired laborer as it involves evil spirits. Nobody knows that the Balite tree inside the farmland of Sacgaca is the abode of hostile ansisit. Sacgaca reported that on the day his hired laborer failed to go to work in his farmland, the latter spent the whole day drinking with his friends. Late in the afternoon while on his way home, he fell at the end of the footbridge across the Chico River and broke his neck. Two villagers saw the cadaver of the victim sprawled under the footbridge the following day. According to the wife of the victim, the tragedy that befell her family did not come as a surprise as she already had a premonition. Before the tragedy, the victim reportedly told his wife that he felt guilty after burning the colony of black ants under the Balite tree where he was working. He said that in his dream, he saw a group of ansisit fuming and confronting him as to why he burned their dwelling. Because of the smoke and destruction of the colony of black ants, he saw the displaced ansisit transferring their belongings to a vacant hut nearby. Terrified, he did not go back for work, but joined his friends drinking.
505

Old folks said that had the victim and his wife not withheld the information, they could have advised the couple to perform an Igorot ritual called sumang, which is a last resort to appease the infuriated ansisit. Sumang has been proven by many native Igorots as an effective antidote to counteract any form of curse that may be inflicted by offended evil spirits. Ben Moga (April 25, 2003 issue) Hey, even dwarves started out small. Posted by Zenster 2006-08-20 21:53 2-Criminal (PDF)369 Mga dwende at enkanto370 The Legality Of Going To Dwarf371 Dwende It all started when I was just about seven years old. My aunt and uncle came from the province to visit us. I didn't like them. They were very strict. Also, they were very superstitious people. One night, I saw my uncle walking towards our backyard, holding a lightened candle. I thought this was odd; there was no electrical blackout.

I followed him, and watched as he knelt before the old jackfruit tree and placed the candle among its roots. I laughed. My uncle saw me and gestured for me to be silent. Then suddenly, tiny lights began to glow all over our backyard, dancing and twinkling in a merry carnival. I watched, fascinated, as a miniature procession of lights passed in front of me. Then there was a tiny ferris-wheel of lights turning round and round beneath the tree. It took me a second or so before realizing that I was at that very moment in the company of the "dwende," the elves. Now, many years later, I have often wondered if that memory was that- a memory or just an illusion fabricated by my youthful mind. Nevertheless, that moment changed my life. Elves, or dwendes (as they were commonly called in the Philippines), are divided into two kinds. There is the "puting dwende" (white elf), who were good beings and quite harmless. You could play with them and make them your friends. Then there is the "itim na dwende" (black elf), which you should fiercely avoid. Itim na dwendes are evil creatures who delight in tormenting those poor hapless human beings who had, unfortunately, trespassed their homes. Homes include fruit trees, grassy plains, gardens, and termite mounds (among all others). Once you had violated their territory, you'll develop an illness, which is incurable by modern medicine. Symptoms include severe stomach aches, high fever, strings of diseases, sudden coughs, sever migraine, etc. The only cure is to seek the help of an albularyo (medicine man or shaman). A healing rite starts with identification. The albularyo tries to identify the source of the hex. He drops molten wax into a bowl of water and prays over it. The shape or face of the enchanter then appears through the wax.
507

This is called "pagtatawas." Then, using incantations, incenses and herbs, he/she then cures the hexed one. After the ceremony, the albularyo then places an offering (usually food) beneath the tree where the elf resides. Flame Many children claim to have been befriended by white elves. Some could even be seen talking with them. Some say they were just about his/her size, some say they were a lot smaller, like a finger. Many girls had been courted by elves. It is a wise thing to refuse them, for if you agreed to marry an elf, you'll live in his world forever and never come back. Some elves bring good luck to a family. Some elves curse them. Believe what you may, but they had been and always shall be an everyday part of the Filipino lifestyle. No kidding. In Philippine folklore, the dwende are little spirits, usually helpful and friendly, but when offended they can cause sickness and even death. They live in houses and occupy themselves by singing, making noise, and throwing sand and pebbles. They sometimes knock over kitchen utensils.372 Appearance: Dwende average 3" in height, or about the size of a finger, and look like dried up little old men (there are no female Dwende).

They generally sit hunched up and barefoot, and have knobby joints and white beards. Their eyesight is poor due to a large part of their lives being spent either underground or aboveground after sunset, but they have very good hearing and speak quite clearly in a whistling voice. Dwende wear little save a blue or purple loincloth and a basket hat. These baskets they either weave from grass or make with fruit peelings. Lifestyle: Dwende live in small groups in caves beneath the ground. They like to live near friendly humans and often make their homes in fruit trees or back gardens. Above ground, their homes look much like termite mounds, but are generally of stone construction inside. The Dwende spend much of their time caring for their houses, which they are quite proud of, and sitting deep in thought. They are also skilled potters and have a habit of singing as they work. Their amusements involve many games employing pebble balls, as well as climbing trees at night to stare at the stars. Dwende are very thoughtful creatures and most of their magic goes on below ground, in explorations of the pits of the earth. However, they will also make use of minor curses if their homes are threatened, though they need not do too much damage as they can always retreat deeper under the ground. Human Interaction: The Dwende enjoy living with human company nearby - as long as the humans are respectful of their homes. They particularly single out children, whom they play small tricks on or games with, and pretty girls, whom the Dwende enjoy flattering and whistling at.
509

While the size difference and the Dwende's nocturnal rather solitary habits prevent a terribly close bond from growing between them and humans, they do make good neighbors. If humans are on favorable terms with the nearby Dwende, they can often borrow some of the Dwende's beautiful china dishes, which bless any meal.373 At a young age, I think I saw dwarves and a beautiful geisha in a rice field. They were waving at me to go to them. As a 7-year-old girl, I didnt have any idea about dwarves or geishas until I got older. I asked my grandmother what I saw, but she told me to just ignore them. Are they real? Many people have seen dwarves or elementals not only here in the Philippines but all over the world. In other countries, they are called by various names such as brownies, leprechauns, elves. There are many different types and forms of elementals, corresponding to the elements of earth, water, air and fire. Dwarves belong to the element of earth, undines and sirens to the element of water, sylphs and fairies to the element of air, and salamanders to the element of fire. This classification of elementals or nature spirits was first made by the 15th-century Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus.

XII. The Healing Hand (Magic Touch); the Angel of Death: in the eyes of Amparo S. Lardizabal (Teacher of teachers), Antonio Boy Z. Atienza, Jr. (Golden Touch) & S.C. Justice Leonardo A. Quisimbing

511

Isaiah 42: 6-7 strikes me as an apt passage that I believe guides him in focusing his vision and in performing his work: I, the Lord, have called you for the victory of justice, I have grasped you by the hand; I formed you, and set you as a covenant of the people, a light for the nations, To open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness. Dwende at Aswang: Mga Paniniwalang Bikolnon Pagtatagpo sa Dwende at Aswang Napakahalagang pag-aralan ang mga sinaunang paniniwala ng ating mga ninuno. Sa tingin ko, sa pamamagitan ng pagbabalik-tanaw sa mga paniniwalang ito ay ma-isasalamin sa atin ang kanilang kinagisnang kultura, paraan ng pamumuhay at pagtingin sa mga bagay-bagay. Sa ganitong paraan, harinaway maunawaan natin ang ating pagkakakilanlan bilang isang pamayanan labas sa mga kolonyal na konseptong ating niyakap sa mahaba-haba ring panahon. Hindi kaila sa amin sa Bikol ang paniniwala sa mga lamang-lupa at mga hindi nakikitang hindi tao. Sa katunayan, ang mga kwento tungkol sa mga kakaibang nilalang na ito ay naging panakot ng aming mga magulang noong mga bata pa kaming magkakapatid. Mas lalo pa itong napatingkad sa akin dahil sa isang karanasang hindi ko rin makalimutan noong maliit pa ako. Naalala kong mahilig akong maglaro mag-isa sa likod bahay namin. Mapuno kasi duon kaya masarap maglaro sa makulimlik na lugar. Ngunit kinagabihan, bigla na lamang sumakit ang aking tiyan. Namimilipit ako sa sakit at pinagpapawisan ng malamig. Dinala ako noon sa pagamutan at nanatili ng isang linggo.

512

Ayon daw sa duktor, pumutok na aking appendix kaya kailangan na itong alisin. Subalit sadyang mapagpaniwala ang aking nanay sa mga matatandang paniniwala. Kaya ako ay idinala sa isang albularyo sa Brgy. Sta. Cruz, hindi kalayuan sa amin. Ang albularyo ay kumuha ng isang maputing pinggan at nagsindi ng kandila. Matapos ang ilang orasyon, ipinadaan ang maputing pinggan sa ibabaw ng apoy ng kandila. Sa aming pagkamangha, nagkaroon ito ng larawan ng maliliit na nilalang, mga dwende nga daw. Malamang ay nabulabog ko sila noong ako ay naglalaro sa aming likod-bahay. Nagbigay ulit ng orasyon ang albularyo at may ipinahid na langis sa aking tiyan. Mula noon, hindi na muli sumakit ang aking tiyan. Ang karanasang ito sa hindi maipaliwanag na pangyayari ay mauulit nang ako ay nasa hayskul na. Gabi na nang kami ay umuwi ng aking mga kaibigan galing sa isang okasyon. Una nila akong inihatid sa aming bahay sa Dayangdang. Kakaunti pa lamang ang mga karatig-bahay namin noon. Wala pa ngang mga poste ng ilaw. Ang tapat at gilid ng aming bahay ay puro talahib at puno ng saging. Nakatulog na ang aking mga kapatid at magulang kaya matagal tagal na rin kaming kumakatok sa pintuan. Sa hindi maipaliwanag na pangyayari ay may nakita kami sa tapat ng bahay naming ng isang malaking paniki na bigla na lamang lumipad. Dinig na dinig pa namin ang pagaspas ng pakpak nito. Maitim at mabilis ang galaw. Maaaring sa sigaw namin ay nagising ang aking tatay at kami ay pinagbuksan. Paano kaya natin ito maipapaliwanag? Kathangisip lamang kaya ang mga ito? O kaya naman ay may tungkulin kaya itong ginagampanan sa ating lipunan? Pagtangkang Unawain ang Hindi Maunawaan Isang paring Heswita ang nagtangkang unawain ang paniniwalang ito ng mga Bikolano. Sa kanyang akdang pinamagatang An Mga Asuwang: A Bicol Belief ipinaliwanag ni P. Francis X. Lynch na ang paniniwala sa mga asuwang ay isang living belief.
513

Na kung saan nabibigyan ng buhay ang mga kwentong ito sa pamamagitan ng pagsasalin-salin sa ibat-ibang henerasyon. Ang mga kwento ng asuwang ay inililipat ng mga magulang sa kanilang mga anak at sa mga anak ng kanilang anak. Pinag-aralan ni P. Lynch ang paka-kahulugan ng mga Bikolano sa mga asuwang sa pamamagitan ng pagpapakwento sa mga matatanda sa mga probinsiya ng Camarines Sur at Albay. Ang mga asuwang ay tumutukoy sa man or woman possessing preternatural powers of locomotion and metamorphosis and an inhuman appetite for the voided phlegm and sputum of the deathly sick, as well as the flesh and blood of the newly dead (Lynch,402). Ipinaliwanag niya na marahil ang mga paniniwalang ito sa mga asuwang at iba pang mga kakaibang nilalang ay para panakot sa mga batang may matigas na ulo. Ayon din sa kanya, maaaring ang mga paniniwalang ito ay naging pamantayan rin ng mga Bikolano sa pakikisalamuha sa ibang tao. Pinananiwalaang ang mga asuwang daw ay hindi masyadong nakikisalamuha sa ibang tao, palaging mag-isa, tahimik at misteryoso/a. Subalit nakaligtaang banggitin ni P. Lynch na marahil ang paniniwala ding ito ay naging paraan ng Simbahang Katoliko upang ma-isanib sa katutubong konsepto ang kanilang itinuturo tungkol sa Diyos at mga santo. Katulad na lamang ng mga orasyong ibinabanggit ng mga kakaibang nilalang bago sila magkatawang asuwang. Isa sa mga orasyon na ito ay Siri-siri, daing Diyos kung banggi; labaw sa kakahoyan, lagbas sa kasirongan. Sa wikang Ingles Siri, siri, there is no God at night; over trees, under houses (Lynch:407). Sa aking pagtingin, taliwas ito sa mga naunang paniniwala ng mga Pilipino na sumasalamin sa animismo. Ibig sabihin, bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila, pinaniniwalaan na ng mga Pilipino na may mga diyos ang batis, ilog, gubat, at iba pa. Sa tingin ko naging kasangkapan lamang ang mga paniniwala sa aswang ng mga Kastila upang maipalaganap ang Kristiyanismo. Maaaring ang pagkatakot sa Diyos ay ang pagkatakot sa pagkawala sa landas patungo sa kanya.
514

Ang pagiging asuwang, pagiging malihim, mapag-isa at misteryoso/a ay hindi angkop sa kulturang Kanluranin kaya na-imbento ang mga asuwang at dwende. Sila ang mga Kaya nga may mga katanungan pa rin na kailangan nating sagutin. Buhay na kaya ang mga paniniwalang ito bago pa dumating ang mga Kastila? May mga aswang at dwende na kaya sa mga isipan ng mga bata noong mga sinaunang panahon? Dwende at aswang, sila nga ba ay mga kathang isip lamang o mga buhay na nilalang?

Philippine Social Sciences and Humanities Review, Vol. XIV, No.4, pp.401-427.374 Dwende, Rock People and Mythology The Cherokees believed in three groups of mischevious wrong-doers who reach as high as your knees. The worst of these, the rock people, would steal your children if you disturbed them. The Dwende are taller than rock people, about half as tall as a Filipino, which means they really are quite small. They live in a mound of dirt in the jungles of the Philippines, and if you get too close to their jungly dirt mounds, they'll kill you. They aren't too far off from the Menehune people, tiny Hawaiian elves - mischievous and rarely seen forest dwellers who avoid sight by building giant caves and ditches at night. Everywhere there are mythological little people from our various cultural pasts. Humans have common sets of fears and imaginations - like a rabbit born with an instinctual fear of fangs.

We come up with answers for our unknown fears and mysteries. In an age where forests are no longer the unknown, and simple mythologies no longer work, our minds pull together the most plausible fears for our time. Little gray people represent every fear of the secular, suburban American - space, conspiracy, technology, dominance over the untouchable West. The dark wood no longer encapsulates our fears, especially in a land of diagrammed suburbs and vast, empty spaces. Some popular polls say that sixty-five percent of Americans believe that their government is covering up evidence of aliens. And they are quite familiar with the stories that still emanate from Roswell, New Mexico...of little people with gray skin and big, black eyes, long fingers adept at punching instructions into computers, or of a captured extraterrestrial craft hidden in an Area 51 hangar and a dozen white-coats taking it for test drives in the secrecy of night. There is a lot of tension between UFOlogists and the regular old scientist. UFOlogy may be crackpot science a mix of faith and scattered logic that makes the genuine search for life in space - a much more interesting field seem silly to those who can't distinguish the two. It's rigorous scrutiny versus face value, but is UFOlogy harmful? The Dwende: Elves, or dwendes are divided into two kinds. There is the "puting dwende" (white elf), who were good beings and quite harmless. You could play with them and make them your friends.

The only cure is to seek the help of a witch doctor.375 Vatican looks to heavens for signs of alien life By ARIEL DAVID (AP) VATICAN CITY E.T. phone Rome. Four hundred years after it locked up Galileo for challenging the view that the Earth was the center of the universe, the Vatican has called in experts to study the possibility of extraterrestrial alien life and its implication for the Catholic Church. "The questions of life's origins and of whether life exists elsewhere in the universe are very suitable and deserve serious consideration," said the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, an astronomer and director of the Vatican Observatory. Funes, a Jesuit priest, presented the results Tuesday of a five-day conference that gathered astronomers, physicists, biologists and other experts to discuss the budding field of astrobiology the study of the origin of life and its existence elsewhere in the cosmos. Funes said the possibility of alien life raises "many philosophical and theological implications" but added that the gathering was mainly focused on the scientific perspective and how different disciplines can be used to explore the issue. Chris Impey, an astronomy professor at the University of Arizona, said it was appropriate that the Vatican would host such a meeting. "Both science and religion posit life as a special outcome of a vast and mostly inhospitable universe," he told a news conference Tuesday. "There is a rich middle ground for dialogue between the practitioners of astrobiology and those who seek to understand the meaning of our existence in a biological universe."

517

Thirty scientists, including non-Catholics, from the U.S., France, Britain, Switzerland, Italy and Chile attended the conference, called to explore among other issues "whether sentient life forms exist on other worlds." Funes set the stage for the conference a year ago when he discussed the possibility of alien life in an interview given prominence in the Vatican's daily newspaper. The Church of Rome's views have shifted radically through the centuries since Italian philosopher Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake as a heretic in 1600 for speculating, among other ideas, that other worlds could be inhabited. Scientists have discovered hundreds of planets outside our solar system including 32 new ones announced recently by the European Space Agency. Impey said the discovery of alien life may be only a few years away. "If biology is not unique to the Earth, or life elsewhere differs bio-chemically from our version, or we ever make contact with an intelligent species in the vastness of space, the implications for our self-image will be profound," he said. This is not the first time the Vatican has explored the issue of extraterrestrials: In 2005, its observatory brought together top researchers in the field for similar discussions. In the interview last year, Funes told Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano that believing the universe may host aliens, even intelligent ones, does not contradict a faith in God. "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes said in that interview. "Just as there is a multitude of creatures on Earth, there could be other beings, even intelligent ones, created by God. This does not contradict our faith, because we cannot put limits on God's creative freedom." Funes maintained that if intelligent beings were discovered, they would also be considered "part of creation." The Roman Catholic Church's relationship with science has come a long way since Galileo was tried as a heretic in 1633 and forced to recant his finding that the Earth revolves around the sun. Church teaching at the time placed Earth at the center of the universe.
518

Today top clergy, including Funes, openly endorse scientific ideas like the Big Bang theory as a reasonable explanation for the creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began billions of years ago in the explosion of a single, super-dense point that contained all matter. Earlier this year, the Vatican also sponsored a conference on evolution to mark the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin's "The Origin of Species." The event snubbed proponents of alternative theories, like creationism and intelligent design, which see a higher being rather than the undirected process of natural selection behind the evolution of species. Still, there are divisions on the issues within the Catholic Church and within other religions, with some favoring creationism or intelligent design that could make it difficult to accept the concept of alien life. Working with scientists to explore fundamental questions that are of interest to religion is in line with the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI, who has made strengthening the relationship between faith and reason a key aspect of his papacy. Recent popes have been working to overcome the accusation that the church was hostile to science a reputation grounded in the Galileo affair. In 1992, Pope John Paul II declared the ruling against the astronomer was an error resulting from "tragic mutual incomprehension." The Vatican Museums opened an exhibit last month marking the 400th anniversary of Galileo's first celestial observations. Tommaso Maccacaro, president of Italy's national institute of astrophysics, said at the exhibit's Oct. 13 opening that astronomy has had a major impact on the way we perceive ourselves. "It was astronomical observations that let us understand that Earth (and man) don't have a privileged position or role in the universe," he said. "I ask myself what tools will we use in the next 400 years, and I ask what revolutions of understanding they'll bring about, like resolving the mystery of our apparent cosmic solitude." The Vatican Observatory has also been at the forefront of efforts to bridge the gap between religion and science.
519

Its scientist-clerics have generated top-notch research and its meteorite collection is considered one of the world's best. The observatory, founded by Pope Leo XIII in 1891, is based in Castel Gandolfo, a lakeside town in the hills outside Rome where the pope has his summer residence. It also conducts research at an observatory at the University of Arizona, in Tucson.376 Judge Florentino Floro, since his birth on Nov 5 1953, had had no experience on dwarfs (and even in St. Mary's Academy, Meycauayan, Bulacan nor in St. Vincent's Seminary nor at the Ateneo de Manila University and Ateneo Law School). In 1973, Fr. Candelaria, SJ, in their Psychology of Education elective class told him that at the dining room, Fr. Jaime Bulatao SJ fed his lady dwarf. Thus, even if LUIS, Armand and Angel appeared to his brother Robert on June 2, 1983 when their father died, still, Floro challenged their existence, being a pure skeptic and scientist when he was digging a treasure about November 1984. And the rest is history. Floro was chosen even before he was born, for he was pre-destined. Today, these 3 holy angels surprised Floro when they revealed that they are mere servants and members of Mary's Army for the Holy Eucharist versus the 666 - the Serpent, and its instruments, now roaming around the Judiciary and almost all branches of the corrupt Philippine government.

Prophecy versus Fate Skeptics Judge Floro meets Philippines' first and foremost authority on jewelry, Catholic-agnostic Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. (Golden Touch)377 "Atienza went to a fortune teller (Judge Floro) to check out what fate had in store for him. Unfortunately, the fortune teller told him that he did not have a chance of turning around his bad luck. But stubborn as he is, Atienza did not accept the prediction and went on with even more determination to prove the fortune teller wrong and be the master of his own fate. I worked harder, got more and better customers and I was on my way up again. I also learned from that experience to never use debt to buy assets and not to gamble that much money, he says. In 1984, Judge Floro first met Antonio Boy Atienza, Jr. when he had financing, gold and jewelry transactions with Floro's brothers Benjamin and Jesie at their ancestral house and lot at Calvario, Meycauayan, Bulacan. Judge Floro and his brothers delivered gold and silver at the Central Bank. Because of price fluctuations, Boy Atienza and Judge Floro lost in gold hedging after the assasination of Benigno NoyNoy Aquino III. At the Apalit aurea bricks terrace of Judge Floro, Boy Atienza (who had gone to Judge Floro's house at least 3 times a week to buy gold from Benny and Jesie, from 1984 to 1990) asked Judge Floro to predict his future.

Floro used his Spanish cards 3-7 or cuaho. Judge Floro read the cards saying that he did not have a chance of turning around his bad luck." The results of the reading was only for that year. Boy Atienza was a Catholic at that time and the master of fate had heard and witnessed the verbal and stunning predictions of deaths by Judge Floro including a) the murder of Amado Young who shortchanged Judge Floro, by having sold assay or impure gold; b) the failed abduction of Manny Ching, a gold trader; c) the NingNingMoraga P 15 million pryammid scam which deceived about 10 gold traders including Benny and Jesie; Judge Floro filed attachment cases for his brothers, for which reason Floro got the ire of the Ipapo's and Alarillas. The case was settled at 35% amid the massive stroke of Mr. Bernie Valerio, the murder of Juan Moraga and the 2008 kidnapping for ransom of Robert Alarilla. Meanwhile, Boy Atienza hired Judge Floro as attorney in the land registration case (of his present jewelry business site, Villa Candelaria-Belza Saluysoy Meycauayan, Bulacan) before Br. 14, RTC, Malolos Bulacan. Atienza dismissed his former lawyer Atty. Juan Banez because of delay in the registration. Judge Floro explained that the lot registration was opposed by the bedridden Belza heir represented by Atty. Wally "Ilaw" Bernal. Per records, the will was defective but morally, the heir was entitled to the lot and must be compensated. Atienza confessed to Judge Floro that the had offered P 200,000 for the heir even if his opposition was dismissed by Judge Carlos Ofilada of pairing court Br. 15, RTC, Malolos Bulacan. After Judge Ofilada signed the Decree for Atienza, the former was dismissed on August 5, 1998 by the Supreme Court for corruption and succumbed to diabetes stroke and died in pain. Because of bitter quarrel between Judge Floro and his brother Jesie, cash-strapped Judge Floro about January 1997, went to Atienza's Saluysoy office to beg for mercy. Floro proposed to Atienza that the latter should release $ 25,000 to the former and in exchange, Atienza would get Floro's 1/5 share of his co-owned 723 sq.m. ancestral house and lot at Meycauayan, Bulacan which was mortgaged by his brother Joselito Floro to Mr. Mariano P. Blanco and Ligaya Blanco.
522

Atienza politely denied Judge Floro's request because of possible hatred or vendetta by Jesie Floro upon Atienza. The latter at that time and from 1985 relied heavily from loans and mortgages from Jesie Floro."If I will help you, Jesie will block me from finances," said Atienza to Floro. Undaunted, Floro brought Robert and beside "CHRISTMAS" the old dog of Atienza, Floro proposed to take-off the forthcomming dire fate of Atienza, forgetting that Atienza is agnostic while Floro is skeptic. Meanwhile, Atienza assigned a case to Floro (the Sir Rogers Club proposed $ 2 million (P 51 million) sale by rogue brothers to Atienza's Hong Kong boss). At T.G.I.S Fridays, near SM Mega Mall, Pasig City, and after the almost done deal, Atienza showed to Judge Floro and the buyers the $ 2 million draft signed by the Bank Manager. Atienza asked Judge Floro to predict: "Attorney ... why are you dressed all black ... will this deal proceed or be successful?" Judge Floro replied: "Boy ... will this deal change your life?" Atienza said: "Of course not, for me ... since this is just a small paper compared to the lifetime benefits that my children would receive from the buyer, Hong Kong partner! ... but the broker or agente beside you, Mr. De Guzman could use the supposed percentage for his heart by-pass." Judge Floro predicted: "Boy ... I myself need my attorney's fees so badly ... if this will proceed smoothly ... but ..." Kidnapping for ransom People vs. Gerardo Roperez On Holy Monday, March 24, 1997, the notorious robbery gang Roperez planned to abduct Judge Floro's wealthy brother Benny Floro, but LUIS snatched Benny from Roperez' claws and put in Atienza, Jr. amid the "CHRISTMAS" dog prophecy of LUIS that Boy Atienza would face a forthcoming dire fate, afer he denied poor Judge Floro. At the Malhacan Tollgate, Judge Floro called Atienza's sister regarding the D-day Monday signing of the sale agreement at Makati City. Atienza was abducted, however. Connie, the wife of Atienza and Therie Floro the wife of Benny Floro stayed all day and night waiting for the fate, since Atienza stressed that he is the master of his own fate against the fortune-teller Judge Floro's incorrect predictions according to him.
523

Atienza's mother, Virginia called Judge Floro (044) 662-8203 at Malolos and asked for help. Floro replied that he had to ask Robert if he has objection on LUIS aid or use of VIOLET light to help Atienza master his fate. Robert said that LUIS would help him and he should be released before Good Friday, and if not, then he should be dead. Atienza was blindfolded until they traveled places. Virginia Atienza, Benny and Jesie Floro prepared P 2 million and did ransom Atienza at Pasig City, Metro Manila, as Asst. Prov. Prosecutor now Judge Victoria Bernardo ruled in the case of "People vs Gerardo Ruperez et al." On March 24, 19977, Atienza, Jr. was abducted by 5 armed men at Dona Mercedes subdivision, Barangay Libis, Iba, Meycauayan, Bulacan. After series of negotiations, he was released at Pasig City, Metro Manila on March 26, 1997 upon payment of P 2,000 ransom. Atienza, Jr. sought the assistance of police operatives (which created a special task force under Joseph Cabato, Military Intelligence Group, under PTFIC). CIG Chief superintendent Efren Fernandez arrested 2 suspects (at the Meycauayan gas station): Felipe Montaos and Eduardo Soriano who pointed to Gerardo Ruperez alias Boy Sabater, as mastermind. The other 3 suspects were later caught: Armando Pahigo, Rudy Bigote and a certain Boyet. Criminal cases were filed with the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor of Bulacan, and the case was docketed as "People versus Ruperez, et al." for Kidnapping with Ransom. Meanwhile, Atienza, Jr., his wife Connie and all children migrated to Australia due to the trauma. The remaining 2 other suspects were later arrested. Meanwhile, Atienza, Jr.'s vast jewelry (one of the biggest in the Philippines) business flourished at his office at Saluysoy, Meycauayan, Bulacan. He returned to his home and office after 7 years. (3-25, 1997 issue of Tempo, front page and page 2, by Rolly Carandang) Because not all the suspects were arrested, Atienza and his family migrated to Australia. After the ALLEGED arrest and incarceration of the last suspect that abducted Atienza, Jr., the latter went home free at last, like a skyline pigeon turned loose in 2006, now utterly a master of his fate.
524

Judge Floro on 2 ocassions, the last was 2007, again begged Atienza for help to move on since his own brother Jesie Floro and wife Cynthia Sinson-Floro repeatedly advised Judge Floro to take psychosis medications, to cease and desist from talking to Dwendes, and to establish a law office at Malolos Bulacan or to look for a job. The last time Judge Floro saw-bilocated to Atienza and Jesie Floro was at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza Hotel, amid the glitter of the stars, moon and the sun, called Liberty and Prosperity of Chief Justice Panganiban.

When it comes to fashioning masterpieces out of fine gold, few can compete with veteran jeweler Antonio Atienza Jr. A product of Meycauayan, Bulacanthe jewelry capital of the PhilippinesAtienza, 49, owns a 70-man jewelry group that operates the award-winning Goldenhills Jewelry chain with six branches in leading malls; and Goldenas Jewelry, which executes designs that are sold in other jewelry shops here and abroad. To think that he initially resented having to work in his fathers pawnshop at 14 years old because while his classmates were having fun on weekends, he was busy helping his father man the shop. But he realizes now that his early work experience contributed a lot to his considerable accomplishments as he learned early on to be an expert at detecting real gems and to appreciate the beauty and value of fine jewelry. At first, the second of eight children was expected by his father, Antonio Sr., to follow in his footsteps and take over the pawnshop business. But plans went awry when his father was swindled in 1976 and the family had to sell everything they owned to scrape enough capital together to start from scratch. For Atienza, that misfortune meant working in his uncles jewelry shop in exchange for supporting him through his Bachelor of Science in Commerce studies at the University of Santo Tomas. While with his relatives, he learned other parts of the business, such as how artisans work with gold and silver as well as precious stones to bring life to intricate designs, and the risks involved in running a capital-intensive jewelry shop. He put all of that experience to work when he decided to get out of his uncles shadow and put up his own jewelry shopBoy Atienza Jewel Artin 1982 with an initial manpower complement of three goldsmiths and one polisher. Atienzas capital was the P15,000 he earned from the sale of a ring with a horseshoe design that he executed himself and his innate creative genius. My first shop was a really dilapidated space, just three meters by six meters big. It was really rundown, Atienza recalls.
527

But from that small space came beautiful pieces of jewelry that he managed to sell through dealers. Since his family was known in the trade, it was not hard for him to introduce himself but he made sure of the quality to keep them coming back for more. Atienza made a bad bet on gold and silver in 1985. He borrowed money to buy the metals with the plan of selling them when prices spike. That increase did not happen like he wanted and he was left saddled with more debt than assets. Panicked and not knowing what else to do, Atienza went to a fortune teller to check out what fate had in store for him. Unfortunately, the fortune teller told him that he did not have a chance of turning around his bad luck. But stubborn as he is, Atienza did not accept the prediction and went on with even more determination to prove the fortune teller wrong and be the master of his own fate. I worked harder, got more and better customers and I was on my way up again. I also learned from that experience to never use debt to buy assets and not to gamble that much money, he says. Good old fashioned hard work and diligence became his fallback as well his high standards for quality. I really try to put my best in every piece that we produce. If there is even a small blemish, I have it redone. I want everything to be free from any defect, he explains. Sometimes, I will redo a piece three, four or five times before I become happy with it. That penchant for quality, coupled with his brand of customer service, helped build his reputation. Soon, Atienza and his company began bringing home design and entrepreneurship awards. In 1993, he was named The Most Promising Businessman of Meycauayan by the Meycauayan Ladies Club. And in 2004, he was recognized as the Most Outstanding Alumni in the field of entrepreneurship by the UST College of Commerce.
528

The Bulacan Chamber of Commerce and Industry named him Most Outstanding Bulacan Businessman in the Jewelry Industry and just last September, he was honored with a Diamond Anniversary award by the UST College of Commerce and Business Administration for his professional excellence in his chosen field. He also got his fair share of design awards. In 1993, one of his firms designs was named Best of the Best in Ethnic Category in the Diamond Today Design Competition and in 2006, a capiz shell necklace named Sensuality won in the Chic Category of the Philippine Design Competition sponsored by the Meycauayan Jewelry Association. On November, 2005, Goldenas garnered two awards during the Fifth Philippine Fine Jewelry Design Competition, at the Metro Comedy Bar in Quezon City. The design competition is an annual event organized by the Meycauayan Jewelry Industry Association Inc. (MJIAI) in partnership with the Product Development and Design Center. Eternal Love was the top placer for the Wedding Category. Marie Liza DJ Cayana, the designer, works for Goldenas Jewelry, sponsor of the prototype. Christina Maris J. Juan of the University of Santo Thomas submitted the winning design for the Chic category with her Down to Earth entry. The necklace according to Cristina, a 3rd year Interior Design student from Imus, Cavite, is a piece that conforms with the rigours of the modern woman, it is something you can take from work to play. Goldenas Jewelry also created the prototype. Goldenas, as a Philexport member, joined the Buy Pinoy goes to San Francisco from November 15 to 20, 2005 at the Philippine Center, 447 Sutter St. Also in 2006, his Pakpak, a half-necklace representing the wings of an eagle, won the top prize under the All Precious Metals Category of the Guild of Philippine Jewellers Jewelry Design Competition. This was followed in 2007 by another award from the Guild for his A Flower Brimming with Tears of Joy, a neckpiece in 18-carat white and yellow gold with mother of pearl and tinalak native fabric.

Atienza says he may be an old hand in the jewelry business but seeing customers appreciate his creations especially his popular line of wedding and engagement ringsstill gives him a high. This is why he is still the main designer of his growing network of Goldenhills Jewelry and he is still involved when he joins wedding fairs and expos such as those mounted every year by Themes and Motifs. For me, this business is not just about making money. It is also about making people happy with my pieces, he says.

534

Likewise, on March 18, 2002, the charges against accused Felipe Montaos and Eduardo Soriano were dismissed after this Court gave due course to their demurrer to evidence in its order of even date. Criminal Case No. 907-M-2001 was consolidated with Criminal Case No. 847-m-97 for joint trial in August, 2001, as both cases arose from the same incident. According to Antonio Atienza, (Affidavit, 5 pages Jan. 25, 2001) the private complainant, in the morning of March 24, 1997, he and his wife, Consolacion, played tennis at the Dona Mercedez tennis court in Saluysoy, Meycauayan, Bulacan, from 7:00 oclock up to 9:00 oclock. After their tennis game, they rode their car Mitsubishi Galant Super Saloon and started to drive home together with Lourdes de La Rosa Llamado, @ Aling Luding, the canteen owner who hitched a ride with them. He was out of the wheel, his wife, Consolacion, was in the front passenger seat and Lourdes dela Rosa Llamado took the back seat. About a hundred meters away from the tennis court, a red car suddenly blocked their path. Instinctively, he stepped on the brakes to avoid hittinh the said car. Thereupon, he saw three (3) men armed with handguns alight from the red car and walk towards his car. One of them approached his side of the vehicle while the other two (2) went to the passenger side. He came to identify the latter as Rodolfo Depas and Pablo Anora. Since the glass window on his side was rolled down, the man who came near him poked a gun at him, prompting him to ask in the vernacular Pare, ano ba ang problema?. The man did not make any reply; instead, he asked if he is Mr. Atienza. When he answered in the affirmative, the man immediately opened the cars door and shoved him towards the front passenger seat. At the same time, his wife was also pulled out of the front seat and pushed into the back seat by Anora. The two (2) women were made to sit or sandwiched between Anora and Depas at the backseat. The third man took over the wheel and drove ahead.
535

Along the way, he kept on pleading to the three (3) men to take him alone and spare his wife and Llamado. He was told to shut up. The men also told him that this matter would be taken up later on. The car as driven towards Marilao, and upon reaching Lambakin, the car stopped. One of the men at the back got off, opened the cars door and ordered him to step out of the car. Thereafter, he was told to transfer to the red car which blocked their way earlier. Two (2) men were already in the red car, the driver and another male on the front seat, which he identified as Armando Pablo. Depas and another man sandwiched him at the back seat. His wife and Llamado were left behind in their (complainants) car. Inside the red car, he was made to wear sunglasses with the lens covered with cartons which blocked hi front vision; he, however, could see by the side. Along the way, he was stripped of his watch worth P150,000.00. Upon reaching a certain place, he was brought out of the car and transferred to an armored white car. Inside the car, he was asked his telephone number and how they could contact his family, even threatening him with death should his family report the incident to the authorities. They traveled for some time, and when the car stopped, he was taken out and made to walk, ascending some concrete steps, later a hill passing thru rice paddies. On the hill, he was told to get inside a hut made of galvanized iron. Here, they told him that his family should raise P10 Million ransom money or else they would kill him. He told the men to do just that because his family could not afford such big amount. They told him that they would negotiate with his family, He was then confined in a small room and given some food. After eating, he rested and went to sleep, waking up in the early morning of the following day, March 25, 1997. He ate his breakfast. All the while, he wore the sunglasses and was not allowed to go out of the small room. In the afternoon, several men came to the hut and he was instructed to write a letter to his family for them to cooperate and pay ransom.
536

He wrote the letter sealed on a wooden bed, his back turned against the men. This time he was allowed to remove his sunglasses. After writing, he pleaded to the men to lower the amount to P1 Million to no avail. Eventually, he made a final offer of P4 Million ransom if they would set him free because he alone could raise the amount. He was silenced by the threat of the group to abduct his wife in his stead. Before the group left, he was blindfolded, a gauze tape was wrapped around his eyes, scaring him totally. The group at this stage was addressing each other with military ranks e.g. Capitan, major, etc. Some men were left to watch over him. The next day, a man arrived in the morning, telling him that his family has not paid the ransom. He again pleaded to release him as he would put up the P4 Million ransom. But the men again refused. Midnight the following day, Maundy Thurday, March 27, 1997, he was roused from his sleep and was told that his family has paid P2.2 Million ransom leaving a balance of P1.8 Million. He again begged for his release to which they acceded with the warning that if he fails to pay the balance they would finish him off. Next, he was brought out, and one of the men carried him in a piggyback ride going downhill and, upon reaching the highway, they all boarded a car. They traveled long, passing even a police checkpoint, as he was told, as the men loaded their guns, and two (2) of them poked their guns of his temples. After some time, the car stopped and he was ordered to get off, telling him to bide his time before he takes off his blindfold. He was, however, disoriented not knowing where he was then. After recovering his senses, he walked to a corner and only then that he came to realize that he was in Ortigas Avenue, near the MERALCO center. He flagged down a taxi and told the driver to drive him to Saluysoy, Meycauayan, Bulacan. That was already Maundy Thursday, and the time, as the driver told him, was 3 o clock in the morning. After the Holy Week, he received a call from his abductors reminding him of the balance of the ransom. He promised to raise the amount.
537

After several days, they called up again. He told them that he was able to prepare 1.5 Million only. Whereupon, he was instructed to deliver the money to them. He begged off and proposed his driver in his place. They agreed and the money was delivered in a designated place at the Balintawak Interchange. Because of fear, he moved his family in Australia. While in Australia, he never came to know of the cases filed by the police regarding his kidnapping. He did not report the incident to the police. Consolacion A. Atienza, (Affidavit Jan. 9, 2001, 5 pages), spouse of the private complainant, corroborated her husbands testimony from the time they left the tennis court in the morning of March 24, 1997 and how the abduction happened up to the time they were left in their car in Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan, when her husband was transferred to another car. In addition, he stated that while they were in the car along the way to Marilao, the man seated beside her took her earrings, a one (1) karat diamond, set on a 14-karat yellow gold worth P200,000.00 and a necklace with cross pendant (diamond) worth P40,000.00 and that from Lalmbakin, after regaining her composure, she drove their car to Meycauayan in their office where the abductors called her up, demanding P10 Million ransom. Virginia Atienza, the mother of the private complainant, testified on how she learned of the kidnapping of her son thru the phone of March 24, 1997, prompting him to report the incident to the Mecycauayan police. She also testified that it was she who talked and negotiated with the abductors of her son until they came to agree to a P2.2 Million ransom which she delivered, in accordance with their instructions, in the afternoon of March 27, 1997, at around 3:00 oclock by a hole in the fence near the Balintawak exit to a man which she identified as Pablo Anora. She said that when she handed over the money to Anora, she also saw a man standing near him, whch she identified to court as Armando Pablo.
538

Her son, Alfredo Atienza drove her to the Balintawak exit, on said date and time. Sinfrosio Milan, driver of private complainant, testified on how he delivered, upon orders of the latter, a package to a man at the Balintawak Interchange, in April, 1997. Alfredo Atienza, brother of private complainant, corroborated his mothers testimony that he drove her off to Balintawak exit in the afternoon of March 27, 1997. All the accused denied the charges and put alibi as a defense. Xxx.

On April 19, 2007, the Court of Appeals rendered and promulgated a 25-pages Judgment penned by CA Justices Mariflor P. Castillo, Rodrigo Cosico and Rosemarie Carandang, AFFIRMING the lower Courts Decision with MODIFICATION (Death was changed to Reclusion Perpetua or life imprisonment plus simple robbery). Accused Gerardo Roperez alias Boy Sabater was acquitted-ordered released from detention in CA-G.R. CR H.C. No. 00962 PEOPLE VS. ARMANDO PABLO, RUDY DEPAS, PABLO ANORA & GERARDO ROPEREZ, with NOTICE OF ENTRY OF JUDGMENT WITH ORDER OF RELEASE dated APRIL 26, 2007 (Division Clerk of Court, ATTY. MANUEL ASUNCION). Tel No. (044) 791-3445, Br. 11, RTC, Malolos City, Bulacan; CA Reporter, Tel. No. (02) 523-4055. Footnote: Judge Floros impeccable prophecy of the kidnapping and the release from detention of the Master of Fate The following is an excerpt from the records of the case on the details of this landmark kidnapping for ransom case accurately PREDICTED by Judge Florentino Floro verbally before Robert V. Floro and Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. and damn witness, his dog Christmas at 125 Saluysoy, Meycauayan, Bulacan. Judge Floro begged Boy Atienza to buy his 1/5 share in their ancestral house and lot at Calvario, Meycauayan, Bulacan, due to Jesie Floros denial (due to faxed legal opinion by Atty. Henry R. Villaricas counsel ACCRA Law Office, that the lot had an adverse claim of real estate mortgage by Joselito and Milagros Floro to Mariano P. Blanco and Ligaya Blanco on January 5, 1995). Judge Floro again reiterated the prophecy of the kidnapping when he did don all-black on the final afternoon at TGIS Fridays, Pasig City, amid the pink salmon dinner with Boy Atienza, the broker who needs a by-pass. Boy Atienza was holding a P 51 million bank cash draft regarding Sir Rogers nite club sale for Monday March 24, 1997. It was the fatalistic day that LUIS snatched Floros brother Benjamin Floro from the fate of kidnapping, putting instead Master of Fate, Boy Atienza in his place.
540

This was a fulfillment of the dire Omen on Atienzas life and destiny, he, being the Master of his Fate as alleged by him and as he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Judge Floro also PREDICTED as begged by Boys mother Virginia that Boy would be released before Good Friday as Robert asked LUIS, and as LUIS had pleased as Master of Boys fate and destiny. Poor jobless Judge Floro thereafter, unmindful of the laws on prophecy, desperately begged Boy Atienza for help (to move on), work, job, trabajo, occupation, or business amid the Courts persecution and final judgment of psychosis. Atienza denied Judge Floro and the poor dwarf Judge decided as LUIS pleased, to endure his sufferings as jobless Judge due to a pretend world. On March 24, 1997, a telephone call was received by the PNP Meycauayan Police station informing said office of the abduction of businessman Antonio Atienza, Jr., also known as Tony boy. He was reportedly abducted by more or less six armed malefactors. Follow-up operations were held and on March 27, 1997, the kidnapped victim was finally released by his abductors somewhere in Ortigas, Pasig City after the payment of a ransom. After a relentless follow-up, the investigating forces were able to track down some of the suspects. On April 23, 1997 suspects Felipe Montaos y Orbe and Eduardo y Bulatao were invited for questioning and they were brought at the Regional Office at Camp Olivas, San Fernando, Pampanga. During the investigation/interrogation, they admitted their participation in the commission of the crime and they implicated other suspects which led the CIG agents to conduct immediate follow-up operation for the arrest of other members of the group. Felipe Montaos y Orbe and Eduardo Soriano y Bulatao willingly gave their confessions after they were informed of their constitutional rights and in the presence of their provided counsel, Atty. Manuel M. Madella of Brgy. Santisima, Malolos, Bulacan.
541

From the confessions of Felipe Montaos and Eduardo Soriano it appears that: Felipe Montaos came to know respondent Armando Pablo @ Mando on December 8, 1996 when the latter rented an apartment near the house being rented by respondent Montaos. Sometime in January or February of 1997, one named Boy Sabater visited respondent Armando Pablo and the latter introduced him to respondent Felipe Montaos until Montaos and Sabater became friends because of the constant visits of Boy Sabater. Then came a time when Felipe Montaos was asked if he knew of someone who could be subject of kidnapping-for-ransom. Montaos gave the name of a certain Benny Floro, a rich man from Saluysoy. Meycauayan, Bulacan. Sometime in March 1997, respondent Mario introduced montaos to a certain @ Rudy Bigote a certain @ Boyet, and then two days thereafter, to a certain @ Efren of Marilao, Bulacan. It was planned by the group that they would kidnap Benny Floro on March 24, 1997. As planned, the group, composed of Boy Sabater, Armando Pablo, Rudy Bigote, @ Efren and @ Boyet, proceeded to a tennis court at Dona Mercedes Subd., Meycauayan, Bulacan at about 9:00 in the morning of March 24, 1997. Respondents Montaos and Eduardo @ Rudy Soriano were left behind at Malhacan Church as look-outs. It so happened that the intended Benny Floro did not arrive at the tennis court. So the group went back to the front of Malhacan Church and asked respondent Eduardo Soriano as to who could be possible substitute-victim. Respondent Eduardo @ Rudy Soriano pointed to Boy Atienza, a jeweler from Maycauayan. So Antonio Atienza @ Boy was kidnapped on March 24, 1997 at Dona Mercedes Subd., Brgy. Malhacan, Meycauayan, Bulacan and he was released on March 27, 1997 after a ransom of P2,000,000.00 was paid by the relatives of the victim. Ma. Victoria A. Cruz, sister of the victim, confirmed that there had been negotiations between the suspects and the relatives of the victim until the victim was finally released.
542

A certain Lourdes dela Rosa-Llenado gave a statement to the fact that she, together with Connie, the wife of victim Boy Atienza, were the passengers of the latter in the car he was driving on armed men rode on the car driven by Atienza and one of them took the wheel from Boy Atienza. When Boy Atienza asked them what they wanted, the four of them alighted from the car taking along with them Boy Atienza. Lourdes dela Rosa-Llenado later pointed to Gerardo Roperez y Almozara @ Boy Sabater as one of those armed men who kidnapped Boy Atienza. On May 20, 1997, respondent Gerardo Roperez was arrested by Bulacan PNP. Upon investigation/interrogation, with the assistance of Atty. Manuel M. Madela, he admitted his participation in the crime. He pointed to the other respondents as his cohorts. Respondents Felipe Montaos y Orbe, Eduardo Soriano y Bulatao, Gerardo Roperez @ Boy Sabater, Armando Pablo @ Mando, Rodolfo Depas @ Rudy bigote, Pablo Afiora @ Boyet and one known only as Efren in this unrebutted case for robbery appears to have conspired and planned to kidnap a certain Benny Floro on the morning of March 24, 1997 but as the latter did not show-up in the tennis court situated somewhere at Dona Mercedes Village, Malhacan, Meycauayan, Bulacan where the latter used to play tennis, the group decided to pursue with the intended kidnapping and made complainant Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. @ Boy as the substitute and indeed kidnapped the latter who on his way home from the tennis court together with his wife Consolacion and one Lourdes dela Rosa Llenado on board their vehicle, A Mitsubishi gallant Super Saloon, their path or way was blocked by a red vehicle while the other occupied the back seat where complainants wife Consolacion Atienza was directed to seat in between Llenado and the two (2) respondents. On their way to unknown place of destination, Consolacions pair of stud earrings and a gold necklace worth P200,000.00 and P40,000.00, respectively were forcibly stripped or taken from the latter.
543

Also forcibly removed was the universal Geneve solid gold wristwatch worth P150,000.00 and a cash amount of P20.00 of complainant Antonio Atienza, Jr. where the latter was directed to transfer to the vehicle of respondents somewhere at Marilao, Bulacan where Consolacion was left behind with Llenado who thereafter accompanied her at their residence where they were met by some concerned people who came to know that her husband as abducted by respondents and demanding for the amount of P10,000,000.00 for the release of Antonio Z. Atienza, Jr. It took three (3) days or specifically on March 27, 1997 when Antonio was released after yielding the ransom which was lowered to P2,200,000.00. xxx the same having been consummated apparently in connivance with one another while in the process of committing their principal objective of kidnapping. [Resolutions of Fiscals Victoria Fernandez Bernardo and Alfredo L. Geronimo]. Former Solicitor General Francisco I. Chavezs Chavez and Laureta Law Office was hired by Atienza as his private prosecutor while Atty. Oliver Lozano appeared for all the accused. My late father once told me to do my best and charge dearly because no customer will complain about a job well done. I followed his advice to a certain extent by doing my best. But instead of charging them dearly, I made my customers dear to me." - Antonio Z. Atienza Jr. - Owner, Goldenhills Jewelry379

The Gifts of Prophecy and Spiritual Healing April 13, Good Friday, 2001 Judge Floro published the following prophecy in more than 20 Supreme Court Motions to Lift Suspension from March 2001, or 2 months after Floros Good Friday, 1998 written-published prediction of Erap will not finish his term came to pass on January 20, 2001 On January 25 & July 18, 1999, I predicted my July 20, 1999 preventive suspension & the July 22, 2000 FIRE that razed Malabon Halls of Justice Buildings except my sala. On June 3, 1999, 6:00 a.m., or 46 days before my July 20, 1999 suspension, I was endowed the gift of spiritual healing, as upon both my palms were permanently imprinted the images and the indelible golden colors. On the 3rd week of June, 2000, I predicted the unprecedented 3rd term re-appointment of Hon. Teresita Cruz-Sison (beside J. Regino Hermosisima, Jr. at the JBC corridors)[even if ERAP already signed the papers of Atty. Edward Serapio], and the latter's incarceration for plunder. On October 10, 2000, I predicted (in answer to J. Romulo S. Quimbo, 2:00 p.m. hearing) that "xxx this year he will remain. But next year, it's questionable." ERAP as I predicted on April 2,1998, or 41 days before election, left the Palace at exactly 12:25 p.m., January 20,2001 (when the S.C. Sheriff left the High Tribunal to serve me the cursed suspension Resolution exactly also, on the 20th day of July, 1999). On January 9, 1999 (feast of the Black Nazarene, 6:00 a.m.) I saw 3 visions: a) The Global Millennium Earthquakes [India's 15,000 dead was the latest confirmation of this vision], from 1999 to 2012, b) the worldwide-several apparitions of the Blessed Mother and c) Vice President Gloria Macapagl-Arroyo will be badly hurt:: the prefatory phases of this vision had already happened:: a) Atty. Mike Arroyo's Benguet-Ifugao plane crash, b) almost successful coup d'etat on May 1, 2001, 3:00 a.m., c) 5 bullets at the restaurant for her son Vice Gov. Mike Arroyo.
545

At the February 27, 2001 OCAD hearing, Mr. Jaime T. Licauco, took the witness stand. For the first time in his life, he certified: a) the authenticity of my extreme hand heat method of spiritual healing and b) that worldwide, I am the sole healing Judge endowed with the gift of spiritual healing. On July 20, 1999, October 12, November 19 and December 5,2000, I predicted the Coronary Artery Disease of Justice Alfredo L. Benipayo (whom I predicted will not be appointed S.C. Justice), as he was under angiogram and was operated via angioplasty on February 21, 2001, and this old Benipayo suffered massive vegetative stroke on February 22, 2008. December 8, 1998 [Feast of the Immaculate Concepcion] The JBC, Supreme Court received my November 5, 1997 Application-letter, as it published my name (among the semi-finals, 11 candidates from the list of more than 80 applicants for the vacant position of RTC Judge, Br. 73, Malabon, Metro Manila [NCJR]) in the papers). At 12:00 noon, Good Friday [San Juanico Bridge, LeyteSamar], I predicted that Jose de Venecia's name will never be published in the papers but ERAP (contrary to surveys) will the the 13th UNLUCKY President who will not finish his term but will sign my papers and hold my hand; (On June 30, 1998, 12:00 noon, I reiterated the prophecy and 2 hours later the Malacanang Palaces chandeliers fell ...) On July 9, 1998, the JBC excluded me from the final list of nominees and denied my appeal but the Council En Banc GRANTED my motion for reconsideration (I claimed to be gifted with PSYCHIC POWERS). ERAP signed my appointment papers on November 4, 1998, hours before my 45th natal day, November 5, 1998, when Exec. Sec. Zamora signed the transmittal letter; I took my OATH on November, Friday the 13th before Justice Bernardo P. Pardo, after Malacanang notified me of my appointment on November 12, 1998 (I topped the 1983 Bar Exams - 12th place and was the 13th examinee); One need not agree that I am the No. 1 gifted-PSYSCHIC in the Philippines.
546

This living proof-memory nonetheless, is affectionately dedicated to my brother, Robert V. Floro, and our unseen little friends Luis, Armand and Angel, without whose guiding lights (midnight, immense, glimmering, flashing), the foregoing prophecy might not have transpired. And this photo is exhibited for believers and infidels alike who, for varying reasons, perhaps, may wish to gain some insight of what true friendship means.

The Santamarias, with their two boys and two girls, lived on Elcano Street, in Binondo, so that when amparing became of school age, she was enrolled in the San Nicolas Elementary School, the school nearest the Santamaria home. The North (Arellano) High School was Amparo's next school, but she stayed here only two years, for by that time she had decided to continue her studies in the Philippine Normal School. In 1927 she graduated from this school as veledictorian and it was then that her dream of becoming a teacher came true. * In 1947, she taught English and business psychology courses, after the establishment of the Philippine College of Commerce and Business Administration. She was also the school's dean of women. Later, before PCCBA attained university status and became the University of the East, Mrs. Lardizabal organized the college of education.

He was doing so through heat emanating from his right hand which was yellow in color. The healer was identified as Judge Florentino Floro, Jr. I became very interested as if, Ive been suffering pain in my knees and low back due to arthritis. I had tried several medicines and herbs, applied varied creams, and oil, but got no relief. I determined to see Judge Floro. Through the help of a friend, I was able to get his address: 135 Dahlia Street, Phase 1 Alido, Malolos, 3000 Bulacan.

My friend also found out that Judge Floro was assigned to RTC 73 in Malabon, but was on a preventive suspension. I wrote to Judge Floro and asked for directions of now to get to his place. He answered me and sent the following information on printed paper. Healing daily 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tel. No. (044) 662-8203. My friend volunteered to accompany me to Malolos. A colleague decided to come alcng, as she was having pain in one knee. Because of the color code, September 21 was the date set to go to Malolos. We agreed to start at 8:00 a.m., so as to be the first. My friend ringed up Josie on. September 20 to make an appointment. We left AU at 3:00 am. I told the driver to fill the car with 10 liters of gasoline and gave him two hundred pesos (2OO.OO), Instead, he used up the two hundred pesos for gasoline. It turned out to be a good decision as the trip used up almost all the gasoline. When we got to Malolos, it was almost 10:00 a.m. but there were already many patients, one came from as far as La Union as she also saw Judge Floro on TV. Although his printed announcement gave 10.00 a.m. as the beginning of the healing session, Judge Floro began treatment at 9:30 a.m. This shortened our waiting time as the previous day's call to make an appointment was discarded. First come, first served was the procedure followed. Several patients later, we were called to enter an anteroom. Another wait. My companion was called first. I followed while she was still being treated. I expected to see an elderly man. Instead, a boyish looking person, slender and of medium height met my eyes. Too young to be a judge was my impression. With oil, he began massaging my knees and low back. His hands, changed color and I felt heat coming from them. He said that the color of his hands varies sometimes red, sometimes yellow or orange. One of his assistants timed the duration of the heat that he applied on the affected body part. After the healing session, we asked if we could buy some of the oil that he was using.
549

Instead, he gave us some that I now apply on my knees and body before going to bed after a bath and so far I have felt relief. Whether the cure will be complete or not, time will tell. You must have wondered how he got his special gift when he got it, and what his roots are, that he did not aspire to be a lawyer, a judge or a healer, but destiny decide otherwise. Judge Floro is the eldest of five children. His siblings are Joselito, Benjamin, Jessie and Robert has unseen little friendsLuis, Armand, Angel and 4 other silent ones. The family lived for 15 years in Calvario Meycuayan Bulacan. The parents of the judge died in 1983 and 1995. Judge Floros mother first saw the mysterious light on December 5, 1925 and last on December 5, 1995. The judge himself first saw the light at 1:00 a.m. on November 5, 1953. From this day until June 3, 1983, he and his brother Robert saw the light. It was June 3, 1983 that Robert heard sounds whispered to him. Judge Floro prayed fervently to see the light again and he did see it for a split second on March 1, 1986. Thereafter he hoped and dreamed to see the lights. On March 1, 1996 at the age of 42 he saw the lights again thirteen years after the first whisper. From March 1, 1996 until November 13, 1999 in more than 329 midnights, he saw the glimmering, flashing, colorless, colorful and mysterious lights. In the last quarter of 1998, Judge Floro saw a vision of himself laying hands upon another. Then at 12 noon of September 3, 1998, Makati Medical Center psychiatrist Dr. George So (of Dra. Pacita Salceda-Ramos office) saw the phenomenal changing of the colors of Judge Floros hand. This incident was followed by manifestations of the healing power of his hand. The following are recounted by Judge Floro himself. 1. Good Friday (April 2, 1999 at 9:07 p.m.) at Las Vegas Restaurant, Banaue, Poblacion Ifugao, my right hand became extremely waem as I was writing the 29 page memorandum Luces Video.
550

2. April 30, 1999 (at RTC 73 at my chamber in Malabon) I continued this practice until May 18, 1999 when my right hand stopped releasing heat. 3. First Thursday, June 3, 1999 at 6:05-6:07 a.m. while in trance, I spoke the 2 essential words Amen Jesus more than 5 times simultaneously and saw the vision of oil being poured. 4. First Friday June 4, 1999 (sixteen years from June 3, 1983 when Robert first heard the words), I first laid my hands with the oil and whispered the words on another at Bustos Dam, Angat Bulacan at 8:00 p.m. This phase of healing has a message of reconciliation. Judge Floro feels that the friends of his brother Robert show what real friendship is and that time will decide if he is truly destined to exercise his healing gift. If the suspension of Judge Floro is lifted will he go back to the judiciary and preside at RTC 73 in Malolos? A man cannot serve two masters. He cannot be both judge and a healer. As a judge he has to obey the rules of court procedure which were made by men like him. He has to dispense justice in the communitypunish people or let them go free. As a healer, he will be able to help people and alleviate suffering. He will be obeying the Almighty who gave him this special gift. There are many lawyers and judges in the Philippines. Healers are so few and rare. To Judge Floro, this gift of heat emanation from his hands is bestowed. Is God entrusting him with a mission? (MODERN TEACHER, August 2000, pages 105-106, Vol. No. XLIX, No. 3). Mr. Jaime T. Licaucos October 20, 1999 letter-invitation to Judge Floro is reproduced, thusly: Judge Florentino Floro #135 Dahlia, Alido Malolos, Bulacan Dear Judge Floro,
551

Thank you for coming over to Makati last Friday to demonstrate your healing technique to a small group of patients that I had invited for the occasion. A number of them had experienced complete relief from pain on the head, back and wrists, others reported some improvement. One reported no change at all in her pain at the back and shoulders, but almost all experienced the penetrating heat coming from your palms during healing. One did not experience any heat at all. It is too early to tell whether the pain relief is permanent or only temporary. In the case of internal disease like diabetes, etc., we cannot, of course, tell whether there has been any improvement pending laboratory analysis. The healing technique you demonstrated is not at all unique. It is universal and is practiced all over the world. In the United States, there are two techniques similar to it, namely. "Touch for-Health" developed by John Thie, and "Therapeutic Touch" developed by Dolores Krieger. A form of heat is also experienced by patients during such healing sessions. It would help your cause more if you will only let results speak for themselves, rather than be talking about them. It turns people off if a healer speaks of how good he is. We must realize that there are thousands of healing techniques, each of which has its own merits and demerits, its advantages and disadvantages. There is no such thing as a universally perfect healing technique. What I believes you are doing is merely letting your natural bio-energy work on diseased organs or parts. Every living being has bio-energy. Human beings have a more pronounced and more powerful bio-energy compared to lower creatures. And some have more of it than others. It is not something unique or possessed only by a few. It would help your healing effectiveness by maintaining silence and concentration during the healing process rather than dissipating the energy by talking or paying attention to other things while healing.
552

It still works because there is excess bio-energy emitted by your hands, but the effectiveness will be enhanced by concentration and meditation. This is a proven and scientific fact. Something happens to our bio-electrical mechanism during intense concentration. If everybody in the room helps in the process by silence and positive thoughts, the results are greater. I have seen this time and time again with other healers. I also suggest you read more literature concerning spiritual healing and pranic healing to deepen your knowledge about this, important subject. As Alexander Pope said: "A little learning is a dangerous thing/Drink deep or taste not the Pyrrean Spring." With my very best personal regards. Jaime T. Licaoco The Mind knows no limi ts as id e from those it accepts Physical Death Judge Floro had faced physical death 4 times: a) on or about 1961 when he was in Grade I, Elementary Education at St. Marys Academy, Meycauayan, Bulacan; he was walking by the Meycauayan Bridge when suddenly Mang Alongs Caretela would have hit-and-run Floro, but the latter held unto its big wheels and the horse was forced to stop standstill; Floro had, at that moment acquired unexplained strength; but he thought that the Cartela and the riders could have met the accident; Floro therefore ran towards his Calvario home due to fear of Mang Alongs reprisal. However, Mang Along thought that Floro was hurt and asked forgiveness from Floros mother Milagros. Floro was unhurt. In 1984, Floro was walking towards Barasoain Sweets at Malolos, Bulacan, when a Funeral Cars wheel hit-andrun Floros foot which miraculously never felt pain nor suffered any injury; b) 2000 - at San Francisco, Pulilan, Bulacan, near a chapel - an addict did strike at Judge Floros neck-back with steel called asero, and further, the teenager did use a knife and pierced the side of Floro.
553

LUIS lights flooded Floros body and he was never physically hurt; however, Floro felt pain and discovered a scratch upon his left chest below the heart; a 90 years old healer, mother of a nun at Hospicio de San Jose, Manila, healed Judge Floro with her invisible bird. c) March 9, 2001, at Tiaong, Baliuag, Bulacan - a man, with 3 co-conspirators had badly beaten Floro at the back, and Floro would have died where in not for the timely intervention of LUIS. The assailant did not even take Floros $ 500 Nokia 8855, and Floro never suffered any pain nor hematoma. When Floro shouted the names of LUIS, Armand and Angel, there was stoppage, and Floro did walk safely; so Floro visited and thanked Our Lady of Manaoag, Pangasinan; d) on November, 2005 - in front of Provincial Capitol, Malolos, Bulacan, while waiting for a jeepney, Floros upper lip was badly beaten with steel asero, and the guard of Judge Benjamin M. Aquino, Jr. did see Floro with so much blood and was operated (minor surgery) at the provincial hospital. After just 2 weeks Floros swollen lip never had a scar, due to a physical miracle of LUIS and his coconut healing oil. Magic Touch It was on November 5, 2004, Floros birthday, that LUIS gave him a special gift (at the http://www.ortigas.com/map/shops/the-podium.html, 18 ADB Avenue, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City, 1550, Metro Manila, PH). LUIS infused upon my Floros golden right palm-hand the GIFT of destruction-annihilation the moment it would touch the hand or body of a retired and incumbent Supreme Court Justice, inter alia, who made money, is or was corrupt in any manner or hath done injustice, LUIS would easily stain their bloods up to the 4th generation. 4 Spiritual Nails in each of the 15 S Court Chambers First Disagreement: On December 2000, Justice Bernardo P. Pardo, 44 Polk St. neighbor of President Erap, issued a resolution which ordered Judge Floro to submit for evaluation by the Supreme Courts own UST psychiatrist and psychologist under Justice Alfredo L. Benipayo.
554

Under the pain of contempt and incarceration at the NBI jail), Floro received the resolution which was delivered to his rented house by Peter, the S.C. process server on December 10, 2000. Floro had to obey like a dog. LUIS ordered Floro to clean the Supreme Court by putting 4 VIOLET nails in all corners of each of the 15 Chambers of Supreme Court Justices every first Fridays at 3pm. Judge Floro first refused, and the vote was a tie. Armand voted in Floros favor while Angel was neutral. So Floro imposed a condition: it was an insult to LUIS - MAKE ME A PROPHET, let my Good Friday prophecy at San Juanico Bridge, 1998 on the downfall of President Joseph Estrada happen on the 20th since I was suspended on 20th also. Another condition was - ERAP must also suffer the same length of preventive suspension or incarceration. LUIS impeccable-mathematical prophecy-accuracy: Joseph E. Estrada was ousted on January 20, 2001, released, October 26, 2007 = 6 years, 9 months, & 6 days Florentino V. Floro was suspended on July 20, 1999, separated on April 6-7, 2006 = 6 years, -9 months (-14 days). Ergo, starting First Friday, August, 1999 until before the 2006 decision, Floro filed every First Fridays, MOTIONS TO LIFT SUSPENSIONS at 3 p.m. Aside from this, Floro traveled to the most powerful places in the Philippines on First Fridays from Aparri to Cagayan De Oro City, to obey LUIS mandate to help his violet lights burn the corrupt courts and to inflict illnesses, dire pains, and deaths upon the Justices, Judges, their loved ones, inter alia, and top corrupt government officers. The 4 (60) nails are now well embedded and safely installed in all the 15 chambers of the Supreme Court Justices, awaiting their fate. 4 Personal Meetings between Judge Florentino V. Floro and S.C. Senior Associate Justice Leonardo A. Quisumbing, at his Chambers

555

1. January 24, 2006, before the April 6 decision, 3 pm to 5:10 pm. Judge Floro told the magistrate all these, and all that would happen after the release of the decision. Floro identified the 8 justices that suffered medical surgeries and warned of the dire consequences that would happen after the decisions release. 2. After the August 11, 2006 appeal denial - Justice Quisumbing gave Floro coffee and listened to the account of dire prophecies. Justice Quisumbing gave Floro xerox copy of the Ripleys Hello Judge and the 3 dwarves which he retrieved from the PIOs daily newspaper cut-outs, specifically from Philippine Star. He gave Floor his very own handwritten desk note which in a jest, made it appear that Floro would obtain a consultancy job from Engr. Homer Ortega. Justice Quisumbing talked by cell phone to Engr. Homer Ortega. The latter and Floro met at MMDA Chair Bayani Fernandos office. Engr. Ortega told poor jobless Judge Floro that the consultancy job was already taken by Atty. Regis Puno; lawyer of ABS-CBN (Senior Partner Puno and Puno Law Office http://www.punolaw.com/index.php?id=10 and Director, Philippine Savings Bank). 3. November 3, 2006 Judge Floro spared Justice Quisumbing from the spiritual curse for a time which ended on the last meeting, and Floro put his coconut healing oil on Quisumbings desk as LUIS permitted effecting the curse later on upon Quisumbing up to the 4th generation. 4. December, 2006 days before the appointment of Chief Justice Puno - Justice Quisumbing showed Floro copy of the newspaper reports on Senator Miriam Santiagos possible appointment as Chief Justice. And in front of a Masbaste ex-Mayor, Judge Floro predicted that Santiago would never be Chief Justice since Floro predicted the death of her own son A.R. Santiago. 5. And on Thursday after the January 16, 2007 Supreme Court mystic fire Justice Quisumbing pasted Floros one-page Mystic Fire appeal for reinstatement at the wall outside his chambers. His last words to Floro were: Huwag kang magagalit sa akin. And Floro did not say a word. Thereafter, Justice Quisumbings secretary Sori gave her cell phone number to Floros secretary Belen Gomez. She scheduled all these 5 audiences.
556

After the 5th and last audience with Justice Quisumbing, Floro disagreed with LUIS again. Armand told Floro to file the appeal to their holy dwarf En Banc Tribunal. Floro asked one last thing: Floro asked LUIS permission to approach and file his pleas to the Commission on Human Rights Chair, Purificacion Valera Quisumbing, wife of Justice Leonardo. And so the Resolution was released on August, First Friday: LUIS said We will allow you to meet personally the Chair of this Human Rights office at the very corridors of power. What does that mean? On first Friday, October 5, 2007, Floro found himself in front of Chair Purificacion Quisumbing with 2 beautiful ladies in black, the 2 daughters of Justice Quisumbing. Forthwith, the VIOLET lights of LUIS did flash and Floro was scared. Scared, but Floro had no fear scared, since he saw the vision of painful deaths inflicted by LUIS up to the 4th generation So, as a meek lamb, Floro bowed down to the King of kings of elementals, part of the 9 choirs of Angels. On June 28, 2002, before Floro cursed Ateneo law School, particularly its class 1982, inter alia, Atty. Emily Reyes+, (Floros classmate, one of the most corrupt exRegister of Deeds, ex-LRA officer, and ex-Ombudsman officer), asked Floro, at their Pioneer building reunion to heal Gelay, the daugher of Melvin and Esmeralda Galang-Dizon, who fabricated the charges against Judge Floro. NO NO NO, Floro replied, since they are possessed and had covenants with the devil. Floro had had no power to lift the curse upon them. Atty. Emily Reyes suffered the wrath of LUIS, and she died in pain due to mysterious cancer, before the week Gregorio Gaite+ died in pain, the father of Floros classmate Deputy Executive Sec. for Legal Affairs, Manuel Gaite (who made a set-up fun to trick Floro at the wake of Emily Reyes; he pretended that Floro would meet classmate Jay Flaminiano; classmates Betty Medialdea, with Francis Lim & ET Montecastro joined the fun; yes, quite funny, but for LUIS, it was TIME. He did inflict illnesses which caused the death of Gregorio Gaite, and later, the painful death of cursed Ateneo Law School Class 1982 Christopher L. Lim on August 2009.
557

The Senate Blue Ribbon Committee on November 10, 2009 sought the impeachment of President Macapagal-Arroyo and prosecution of 10 others, including First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo and Deputy Executive Secretary Manuel Gaite in connection with the botched $329 million national broadband network deal with ZTE Corp. of China.381 These are not punishments but biblical curses versus evil to ward off the black inside them. It is part of the galactic wars of LUIS, Armand and Angel. THE LIVING CURSE OF THE HOLY ANGELS As Floro predicted repeatedly in writing, the judiciary will witness the nationwide deaths that will happen. July 20, 1999 to July 20, 2007: View from the mountaintop - Extrajudicial killings At the opening of the summit on extrajudicial killings and forced disappearances on July 16, 2007, Chief Justice Reynaldo Puno gave the reasons why he called for the twoday gathering. One of them is to prevent losing eye contact with these killings and disappearances, revive our righteous indignation, and spur our united search for the elusive solution to this festering problem, he said. (See article below.) The Commission on Human Rights placed the number of victims at 403 from 2001 to May 31, 2007, while the human rights alliance Karapatan reported 863 deaths.382 Eucharistic Enthronement Conversion Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and

Judge Floro asked the Supreme Court on First Friday of January 2008, per pleading, that the burnt 5 mystic fire Court - SUPREME COURT SESSION HALL, COURT OF APPEALS 4th FLOOR, COMELEC, Br. 73, RTC, Malabon sala, and the Muntinlupa MeTC sala, must all be renovatedconverted for the enthronement thereat of the HOLY EUCHARIST by building entirely thereat the Adoracion Chapel, which is the only hope against evil in the judiciary. The entire judiciary and Government must be consecrated by the Cardinal to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate of Heart of Mary preferably on April 12 and 25 (painful deaths of Chief Justice Reynato Punos wife and mother, Luzviminda & Narcisa, respectively). These special days were chosen by Floro-LUIS for salvation of the justices / judges and court personnels souls from perdition and April should be declared the Filipino Justice month. The images of Our Lady of Fatima-Our Lady of Lourdes must be crowned and permanently be venerated in all these 5 mystic fire places since she is the Mediatrix of all graces and the Co-Redemptrix who solely crushed the head of the serpent (per Revelation). The serpents name 666 is fully inscribed and subscribed in all the foreheads of past, present and future Supreme Court Justices, and powerful government officers. This is the only way to solve the extra-judicial killings and desaparecidos and to heal the wounds of corruption in the country. There is no such thing as moral revolution since it never happened since ancient times (due to the corrupt human nature of jurists, pastors and preachers of the Gospel, who are all greedy and veritable hypocrites). Psalms 109 and 73 must be recited daily to replace the Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide, Jr. demonic or diabolical circular prayer before court sessions, so that all those who steal and abuse judicial power would readily be blood stained. Arinday: Self-cherishing, psychosis & other oddities By Judge Graciano .H. Arinday, Jr. Sunfare Monday, September 24, 2007
559

IN LIFE, we encounter a lot of oddities and beg for the sublime task to render the same into linguistic idioms. If we say that he is an odd man out, the interpretation is as varied as the hues of the rainbow jealously misted by the dark nimbus cloud. Can you recall of a former regional trial court judge in Bulacan who was eased out of his office because he was said to be suffering from psychosis according to Supreme Court magistrates? Well, former RTC judge Florentino V. Floro Jr., who confessed cavorting with his three elfin friends (Luis, the neutral force; Armand, a benign influence; and Angel, as the king of kings and as an avenger in the penning of his decisions), has become a sort of an international media celebrity. No less than The Wall Street Journal, in its September 17, 2007 issue and bylined by James Hookway, featured the dismissed judge who claimed in an interview that: It shouldnt matter what I believed in, whether its Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand, and Angel. What the former judge said is equivalent to self-cherishing as the fundamental concept of the Buddhists philosophy on how to enhance cherishing love. In writing the verdict dismissing the judge, considering him as suffering from psychosis largely because of his belief in the supernatural, Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario said he has his broad faith in mysticism and supernatural phenomena. Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such a belief system... However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system. It is not the first time that former Judge Floro attracted those engaged in human interest stories. He has been featured in English newspapers, international or regional, before The Wall Street Journal gave him some kind of prominence.
560

The world of mystics has intrigued me a lot like the paranormal analysis of psychic Jaime Lichauco and the so-called supernatural and extra-sensory perceptions. Accordingly, there is no accepted explanation of mysticism and few psychologists have interested themselves in its practice, says The Columbia Encyclopedia. Philosophers William James gave up after failing in finding the answer. On the other hand, Henri Bergson made a significant philosophical evaluation. Bergson, whose psychological or philosophical lectures were attended by fashionable ladies of his time surpassing that of Thomas Carlyles thought of mysticism as subjective meditation or a vitalist philosophy akin to romanticism. The notion of Bergsons philosophy is the strands of continuity in probing deeper into the mysteries of life like the growth of the folk-soul or beliefs on something outside of empiricism. But former Judge Floros venture into the supernatural is overshadowed by the lawsuit filed by self-proclaimed agnostics of Nebraska, Senator Ernie Chambers of Omaha, seeking a permanent injunction against God as reported by foreign news agencies. And lo, behold, the injunction suit was answered by God who was charged with human oppression and suffering misses an important matter. As it was written, the answer was signed by God, citing St. Michael the Archangel as a witness, and God was quoted that I created man and woman with free will and next to the promise of immortal life, free will is my greatest gift to you. Ho-hum! Such strange things are component of lifes existence. How would we treat the Nebraskan state senator? Consign him to limbo? But the place is exclusively for those under probation or inmates in the purgatory. Definitely, we cannot classify him on the same level with former Judge Floro, the latter being a firm believer in mystical matters, but Chambers is a class by himself.

XII.a Gift of Spiritual Healing: 2 Mata - 2 eyes Heat-processed Judge Floros Coconut Healing Oil

563

Judge Floro's 2-mata or 2 eyes rarest fresh mature coconuts / healing oil

Judge Floro posted (wrote) in Tsinoy.Com Forums, page 9 (pages 4-10) and www.asiafinest.com, forum:384 When I started healing on April 30, 1999, I began to have used ordinary heat processed coconut oil (here in our country, Philippines, the herbolaryos, quack doctors, and today, the herbalists, especially the nuns of Davao City, had learned to produce this healing oil by cooking, odd numbers (3, 5, 7 etc.) fresh mature ordinary coconuts, meaning of 7,000 in one hectare, each has 3 holes or we call mata /eyes on top); Since the 19th century, they learned to cook it, passing to generations; the best time for them, is Good Friday, 12nn- 3pm, or first fridays, same times; then, they would grate the meat manually (now we use machines), then they put clean water, then in big cauldron (66-75 pieces would suffice), they would cook it slowly, using the same coconuts husks and shells with wood, one direction only, and SILENCE is required (for if there are spectators, then, the oil extracted would be few). IMPORTANT, is the cooking of the LATIK (coconut cream) to almost roasted black, so that the ingredients would be intact. My maids followed the above - tradition, and we obtain about 2 liters from 70 coconuts. I had healed about 6,000 patients from 1999-2003, and they said that my oil differs from the Church or other coconut oils.

The reason is that my oil would not smell MAANTA, or rancid, after TIME. And the therapeutic effects are very satisfactory, they said. The Ordinary Coconut has 3 mata or eyes. On March 15, 2003, when I went to Lingayen, Pangasinan (after I visited the famous healer Alex Orbito's Manaoag Healing Center called PYRAMID OF ASIA, where I saw his imported wood that allegedly cost $ 300,000, I went inside it and discovered that the coconut OIL he placed there, would smell MAANTA or bad, like all other oils, unlike, mine), after I visited the Bagoong and Bukayo (coconut candy) factories, I accidentally discovered the 2-mata rare coconut. I bought a piece for P 40.00 (P 49 = $ 1), had it cooked on Good Friday, April, 2003. Until today, it turned colorless and has no bad smell. I offered P 100 per piece here in Bulacan, Philippines, but I could not get many, so I was able to contact Munoz Market, Quezon City, where there are plenty of cocounts sold. So, I ordered, and it would take one month to buy 70 2 mata coconuts, at P 35 each, unlike the ordinary ones, P 15. My maids cooked the first 65 about June, 2003. Until today, I have a bottle and the oil is golden, unchanged, and the smell is aromatic. When I healed at Angat, Bulacan, I told the old folks rich and poor, to cook the ordinary coconuts as above-done by my maids. They did, since there are plenty of ordinary coconuts there. But the results were the same as there, around, bad smell, whiteyellowish like vegetable oil, UNLIKE, what my maids cooked: GOLDEN color, very aromatic, and for 3-4 years, would retain the aromatic odors and golden color. THIS, I COULD NOT EXPLAIN, this I think, science would not be able to explain. NOW, comming to the physical differences between ordinary 3mata vis-a-vis the 2mata coconuts: I found that:
565

1. My source (hundreds of thousands are sold at said market), told me that on the average, only 2 (+ -) MATA appear of 7,000, in one hectare land; 2. 90% of the 2mata coconuts produce 30% less coco juice, and 50% smaller in size from the 3 mata; 3. The color is quite different, less golden yellow; and the aromatic odor is the same; 4. The therapeutic potency, medical and clinical efficacies are 5 times, based on my own and my patient's experiences; example: 2mata eases arthritis pain in 2 minutes, the 3mata, in 30 minutes, the VCO oil, maybe, one day or no result at all; my maid had drug related skin diseases all over the body for 3 years, that could not be cured of 3mata, the 2mata cured the ailment in just a week (same for eczema); a neighbor that was pronounced terminally ill for prostate cancer (could not urinate even with gadgets due to PUS,etc.) was healed by drinking 2mata oils for a week, and so forth. I wrote and talked to a high official of our Philippine Coconut Authority, and they told me, that they already tested 2mata chemically, but due to lack of FUNDS, they could not proceed, so until today, I am waiting for their call, for me to submit samples. REGARDING my statement that VCO is hoax commercially, I say this, since, I read in the INTERNET truckloads of their studies, ads, etc. But, DIRECT to the POINT: WHAT IS THE CLINICAL RESULT, WAS THE SAMPLING REPRESENTATIVE, AND CAN THEY SELL VCO AS MEDICINE, DRUG IN DRUG STORES OR as SUPPLEMENTS ONLY? The point, is, VCO was launched versus SOYA in the STATES, with Dr. Conrado Dayrits study and his own CONCLUSION. The internet was flooded with ORDERS of VCO, they raked money, but the 64$ question is: WHAT IS THE CLINICAL RESULT in using VCO? My answer, my opinion, is:
566

VCO is like taheebo, INTRA, TEAS, Chinese medicines, that could not be on par with FDA's approved DRUGS that are orthodox medicines. Virgin Coconut Oil is a Commercial Hoax vis--vis Judge Floros Coconut Healing / Medicinal Oil Contrary to Dr. Conrado Dayrit's claims on VCO's (virgin coconut oil) medical therapeutic potency and results (as he submitted his subjective studies regarding San Lazaro, Philippine Hospital tests on HIV patients, citing and using Dr. Bruce Fife, a commercialist -vide, May 25, 2005, P.I. Daily Inquirer), suffice it to say, that his claims and findings run contrary to et's parameters (supported by medical sources). First, the proper FORUM never investigated his findings, thus, under our laws, SELF-serving, biased, subjective and, dubious (since on its face, it has a hidden agenda of commercializing the oils for the VCO producer's benefits contra the soya oil producers). WHY DID HE AND THE VCO producers intentionally PREVENTED the PUBLIC, the PHILIPPINE COCONUT AUTHORITY, DOST, PHILIPPINE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, etc. from having been presented the TRUTH about 2 mata or 2 eyes fresh mature rare coconuts? FLASHBACK: Not he and the VCO producers are the pioneer on VCO. Engr. Quintillano Montevirgen, (Supervising Science Research Specialist, Chemicals and Minerals Division, Industrial Technology Development Institute, Department of Science and Technology, Gen. Santos Ave., Bicutan, Taguig, Metro Manila,Telefax No.: 837-2071 to 82 local 2216) since 1990, head of the research team, ITDI of the Philippine DOST (who extracted my 36 2 mata rarest coconut oils by virtue of the signed letter of its Directress Dr. Nuna E. ALMAZOR, dated June 7, 2005), is the pioneer of VCO, in the Philippines.
567

Vide - renowned writer Zac Zarian, "What's New in VCO?", Panorama, Manila Bulletin. As I said, my oil had been extracted for chemical testing, and ultimately for clinical studies, later on, by the proper Philippine unbiased government forum. I studied in the ATENEO, but I think Ateneo is biased, since its testing center is headed by Dr. Dayrit's son, Dr. Fabian Dayrit, as head. I wrote Dr. Gary Sy on this, but he said that 2 mata is so rare for them to start on the study (as he called me by phone, as I did criticize objectively, his study on VCO, and unproved claims appearing in Feb. 25, 2005, Manila Bulletin, Life extension, "Coconut oil as medicine", as I said, VCO is not a medicine, it is a COMMERCIAL HOAX (like previously, Filipinos were DECEIVED by claims of foreign TAHEEBOO, INTRA, our Ernie Barons LACTOBACILLI preparations, now our market is flooded with CARICA's hoax about VCO and don't be stunned - MANGOSTEEN ! Educator, Dr. Bienvenido O. Juliano, Ph.D. and the beautiful Cory Quirino (I would be in a better position as Judge or Law expert, than these educator and beauty expertt to deal on this medical subject) [vide: April 10, 2005, Manila Bulletin,, p.11, and P.I. Daily Inquirer, p. C4 April 13, 2004, respectively] - regarding, how many would claim how VCO would turn to MEDICINE. Aside from Dr. Gary Sy and the 2 Dr. Dayrits, father and son tandem, I also wrote Makati Medical Center's Dr. VERMEN VERALLO-ROWELL (dermatology, as I submitted to her in writing, my comparative studies on VCO vis-a-vis 2 mata rarest coconut medicinal and healing oil), to Dr. Teresita Espino, of Los Banos Laguna, University of the Philippines (BIOTECH, SHE CLAIMS THAT SHE AND UP DO HAVE THE ONLY AUTHENTIC VCO MACHINE).

Dr. Verallo-Rowell http://www.vmvrmd.com/ is a dermatologist, dermatopathologist, and dermatology/laser surgeon who has authored of over 150 articles that have appeared in dermatology journals and meeting publications, and two books on skin and health. Her research has made her a frequent lecturer in the fields of dermatology, dermatopathology, psoriasis, hyperpigmentation, laser therapies, and applied cosmetic dermatology (such as skin care products, hypoallergenicity, sunscreens, and cosmeceuticals) at professional meetings around the world most recently, she chaired the acne symposium at the World Congress of Dermatology, October 1-5, 2007, Buenos Aires, Argentina. I also wrote and personally submitted my study to the highest officers of our Philippine Coconut Authority, Bureau of Food and Drugs and VCO Producer's Association at their exhibition in MegaTrade Hall, Mega Mall, SM Mandaluyong City, August 24-30, 2005. They refused to consider my paper, since I was told that THEY LACK FUNDS AND it is very expensive to buy 2 mata rare coconuts (2 appear out of 7,000). With all these, I hope that someday, medicine and science would be able to study these rarest 2 mata fresh mature coconuts contrary to the claims of VCO ordinary cocounut producers. Discover the amazing versatility of coconut oil Coconut oil is ideal as a high-heat cooking oil, a "better than butter" replacement on bread and steamed veggies, or a tasty and nutritious substitute for shortening in baking. We suggest you use coconut and palm oils for cooking, and olive (a heat-sensitive oil with a low smoke point), hemp, and flax oils for cold dressings. This will help increase your levels of healthy Lauric Acid, Omega-3, and GLA fatty acids, while lowering your intake of Omega-6 and junk oils.

569

While we need to consume a 4:1 ratio of Omega-6s to Omega-3s, the average American diet provides a ratio of 30:1 or more! it can also be used topically to alleviate dry skin. It is great as a carrier for massage oils, and is highly valued as ingredients in natural skin care products. Because it is so rich in lauric acid, combined with the fact that is has proven antiviral and antibacterial agents it is currently being tested as a treatment for Aids.385 Religion in the Philippines Gifts of healing, 1 Cor 12:9, 12:28 Faith healing386 is the attempt to use religious or spiritual means such as prayer to cure disease. Proponents claim that prayers, mental practices, spiritual insights, or other techniques can summon divine or supernatural interventions on behalf of the ill. According to the varied beliefs of those who practice it, faith healing may be said to afford gradual relief from pain or sickness or to bring about a sudden "miracle cure", and it may be used in place of, or in tandem with, conventional medical techniques for alleviating or curing diseases. Faith healing has been criticized on the grounds that those who use it may delay seeking potentially curative conventional medical care. This is particularly problematic when parents use faith healing techniques on children. The term "faith healing" is sometimes used in reference to the belief of some Christians who hold that God heals people through the power of the Holy Spirit, often involving the "laying on of hands".

Those who hold to this belief do not usually use the term "faith healing" in reference to the practice; that expression is often used descriptively by commentators outside of the faith movement in reference to the belief and practice. Faith healing is reported by Catholics as the result of intercessory prayer of a saint or a person with the gift of healing. Among the best-known accounts among Catholics of faith healings are those attributed to miraculous intercession of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary known as Our Lady of Lourdes at the grotto of Lourdes in France, and the remissions of life-threatening disease claimed by those who have applied for aid to Saint Jude, who is known as the "patron saint of lost causes". There are a number of religions that exist in the Philippines. But predominantly, it is a Christian country. The following statistics are from the CIA Factbook and the 2000 census: * Christian: 90.3% o Roman Catholic: 80.9% o Evangelical: 2.8% o Iglesia ni Cristo: 2.2% o Aglipayan: 2% o other Christian: 4.5% * Muslim: 5% * other: 1.8% * unspecified: 0.6% * none: 0.1% Coconut Healing Oil Coconut oil has been used throughout Asia and the Pacific for thousands of years as both a food and a medicine. Even today it holds a highly respected position in the Ayurvedic medicine of India. Only recently has modern medical research confirmed the many health benefits traditionally attributed to this remarkable oil.

571

Once mistakenly thought to be bad because of its saturated fat content, coconut oil is now known to contain a unique form of saturated fat that actually helps in prevnetion of various medical conditions. Lauric Acid - Coconut Oil Extensive research on the nutritional and medicinal benefits on coconut oil has surfaced in recent years. Much of that research has been done by Dr. Mary Enig. Dr. Enig has categorised coconuts as a "functional food," which provides health benefits over and beyond the basic nutrients. She has particularly identified lauric acid as a key ingredient in coconut products: "Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid, which has the additional beneficial function of being formed into monolaurin in the human body. Monolaurin is the antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal monoglyceride used by the humans to destroy lipid coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria including listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia. Some studies have also shown some antimicrobial effects of the free lauric acid." As a "functional food," coconut oil is now being recognised by the medical community as a powerful tool against immune diseases. Several studies have been done on its effectiveness, and much research is currently being done on the incredible nutritional value of pure coconut oil. The references for the research can be found in The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil by Dr. Bruce Fife, ND. The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats. It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk which have been shown to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and protect against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.

572

These fats, derived from coconut oil, are now routinely used in hospital IV formulations and commercial baby formulas. They're also used in sports drinks to boost energy and enhance athletic performance. What coconut oil does not do: Does not increase blood cholesterol level; Does not promote platelet stickiness which leads to blood clot formation; Does not contribute to atherosclerosis or heart disease; Does not promote cancer or any other degenerative disease; Does not contribute to weight problem What coconut oil does do: Reduces risk of atherosclerosis and related illnesses; Reduces risk of cancer and other degenerative conditions; Helps prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal (including yeast) infections; Supports immune system function; Helps prevent osteoporosis; Helps control diabetes; Promotes weight loss; Supports healthy metabolic function; Provides an immediate source of energy; Supplies fewer calories than other fats; Supplies important nutrients necessary for good health; Improves digestion and nutient absorption; Is highly resistant to spoilage (long shelf life); Is heat resistant (the healthiest oil for cooking; Helps keep skin soft and smooth. Helps prevent premature aging and wrinkling of the skin; Helps protect against skin cancer and other blemishes.387 Healthy lifestyle: The truth about coconut oil The stories that abound about coconut oil almost make it something to be banished from your kitchen.

The truth is, coconut oil has been given a bad rap for years and so many persons have missed all the benefits associated with the coconut, this versatile fruit. However, at a time when strange viruses are around, coconut oil takes pride of place as an antiviral, tackling the most resistant viruses. How can one product be so good? It is nature's medicine cabinet, effective in destroying viruses that cause influenza, sinusitis, measles, hepatitis and AIDS. It also destroys bacteria that can cause throat infections, stomach ulcers, urinary tract infections, venereal diseases and meningitis. As an antifungal, coconut oil destroys ringworm, candida, thrush and parasites that can cause intestinal infections such as giardiasis. Structure A colourless oil extracted from the flesh of the coconut, what causes coconut oil to be so powerful in its medicinal properties? According to Kim Evans, natural health writer and author of Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse, it is all in the structure of the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which include capric acid, caprylic acid and lauric acid, all making up over 60 per cent of the oil. Medium-chain fatty acids are often not understood but their uniqueness makes them special and they are only found in a few places in nature, coconut oil and breast milk being among those sources. Historically, coconut oil was used during World War II by Japanese military, who occupied the Philippines and other South Pacific islands. However, supplies to the United States dried up during the long war years so the US began to develop alternative sources of cooking oil, giving rise to the influx of polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Unfortunately, the oil that replaced coconut oil was hydrogenated vegetable oil, which has now been proven detrimental to health. Trans fats The real problem with fats is trans-fatty acids created by modern technology which are foreign to the body.
574

Trans-fatty acids are manufactured by a process called hydrogenation, which aims at stabilising polyunsaturated oils to prevent them from becoming rancid and to preserve them at room temperature. Trans-fatty acids are dangerous for the heart and are risk factors for certain cancers. Hydrogenated fats are used in stick and hard margarine, fast foods, commercial baked goods, processed foods and fried foods. By the time the war was over, Dr Mercola posited that big bucks were invested in the manufacture of the polyunsaturated oils, so their promotion had to continue. Coconut oil and other saturated fats like butter and eggs were touted as villains and blamed for raising cholesterol levels and contributing to the steep rise in heart disease. Tropical oils Later, the soybean industry condemned the use of tropical oils such as coconut oil which 'fell from grace' because the poorer countries which produced coconut oil could not afford to fight it. An examination of the traditional diets and the effects of coconut oil in the diet revealed that persons who consumed diets high in coconut products were healthy and trim (Mercola.com). Research results published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicated that of the two Polynesian groups studied with coconut as the chief source of energy, both populations exhibited positive health of the heart. Virgin or extra virgin Fats, in general, have earned a bad reputation, but not all fats are bad for your health. Apart from providing energy, fats consumed in the right amounts and of the right type may be beneficial to your health. Coconut oil, with its medium-chain fatty acids, is definitely one of the good fats. Cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is one of the richest sources of medium-chain fatty acids with a high content of lauric acid, protecting you from a range of diseases.

575

Short- and medium-chain fatty acids are easily absorbed by the body, as it requires less energy and fewer enzymes, thereby improving digestion. These fatty acids are transported directly to the liver, where they are immediately converted to energy. Nutrition Coconut oil is nutritionally sound as the flesh has about nine grams of fibre per cup and as much protein as green beans and carrots, as well as folic acid, calcium, iron and vitamins B1, B6, C and E. You may want to revisit your youthful days with grandma and coconut oil was the only oil used to prepare tasty, home-cooked meals. You may have been having a drink of coconut water or eating the meat from dried coconut or as flakes in pies and cookies but you may not have been cooking with it. Coconut oil is called 'the healthiest dietary oil on earth'. Its stability makes it excellent for cooking and baking at high temperatures. If you are not yet cooking with coconut oil, you may want to make that switch for health's sake. Benefits of cooking with coconut oil Lowers cholesterol. Recent studies have shown that the type of saturated fat in coconut helps you to metabolise cholesterol faster, lowering overall cholesterol levels. Contributes to youthfulness. The consumption of coconut oil leads to the stimulation of the thyroid gland, which contributes to the lowering of cholesterol levels. A well-regulated thyroid uses cholesterol to make chemicals vital to disease prevention and slowing ageing. Helps with weight loss. A healthy thyroid reduces the likelihood of obesity. May prevent cancer. A healthy thyroid is linked to reducing cancer risks.

576

Studies have shown that the incidence of cancer is less in consumers of coconut milk-rich diets, compared to those whose diets are loaded with unsaturated fats. Prevents infections. Coconut oil contains 60 per cent of a fatty acid known as lauric acid. The body converts lauric acid into a substance that fights bacteria, viruses and infections in infants. Lauric acid, a fatty acid, is also found in breast milk. Lauric acid produces chemicals that protect the immune system. Provides an immediate source of energy. This is influenced by the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil. Reduces the risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis. A study of two community groups in New Zealand which consume a large amount of coconut oil showed rare incidence of heart attack. Improves condition of the skin. The rich texture of coconut milk makes it effective to be added to beauty products such as lotions and shampoos. Prevents blemishes/acne. When applied to the skin, coconut oil reduces inflammation to prevent psoriasis, rosacea and rashes. Prevents hair damage. Protein penetrates hair shaft to prevent damage. Excellent as a deep conditioner for the hair. Aids in the control of diabetes. Heather Little-White, PhD, is a nutrition and lifestyle consultant in Kingston. [email protected] or fax 922-6223. Published: Saturday | September 26, 2009 Heather Little-White, Contributor BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE: New coconut products have strong market potential Dr Davina D Bawalan, an international coconut processing consultant, spoke of the importance of another product derived from coconutvirgin coconut oil (VCO). Amongst plant-derived vegetable, seed and nut oils, VCO is unique in that it is the only oil with multi-functional uses.
577

VCO can be used in a wide range of edible and inedible applications, presenting great flexibility in marketing it, Dr Bawalan said. She noted that copra-derived coconut oil has been produced and used commercially for more than a century, with the first coconut oil milling plant being established in the Philippines in 1908. Its use in edible and inedible applications is already well established. VCO can also be utilised in all applications where crude or cochin (refined, bleached and deodorised) coconut oil are traditionally used and will be a much better alternative if it can be made available in large volumes at an affordable price. For edible purposes, coconut oil is generally used as frying and cooking oil because of its good resistance to developing rancidity. VCO could also be used as substitute for the expensive butterfat used in reconstituted milk and cheese and in ice cream to make the products cheaper and more affordable without changing their palatability. Hydrogenated coconut oil can be used for margarine, shortening and baking fats. Coconut oil has several other edible applications. It provides a source of fat in infant formulas and baby foods because of its easy digestibility and absorbability. It is used as spray oil for crackers, cookies and cereals to enhance flavour and increase shelf life. The oil is also a common ingredient in confectionery. Apart from its food value, coconut oil is used as raw material in the manufacture of laundry and bath soaps, biodegradable detergents, shampoos, shower gels and cleaning agents. With the advent of the energy crisis in the 1970s, coconut oil and coconut oil-derived coco methyl ester were tried as diesel fuel substitutes, Bawalan said. At present, coco methyl ester is being used in the Philippines as a fuel additive or fuel enhancer for diesel, at a blend of up to 2%, to support the countrys Clean Air Act and Biofuels Act.
578

Bawalan said several studies showed that adding coco methyl ester to diesel fuel substantially reduced smoke emission and nitrous oxide formation. In most Pacific Islands countries, filtered coconut oil is blended with either diesel fuel or kerosene and used for automotive fuel and power generation. VCO is also finding new commercial applications as a hair and skin conditioner, an oil base for various cosmetic and skin care products, carrier oil for aromatherapy and massage oils, and as a nutraceutical and functional food.388 Medical vs herbal vs generics Written by Jose Ma. Fernandez / Free Enterprise Tuesday, 15 September 2009 THIS is neither a body of expert work or the musings of an informed person on the subject of medicines. At best, I am a steady provider of support and comfort to a number of pharmaceutical firms based on the types and amount of medicine I buy on a monthly basis. In fact, back when I was still working in a bank, many of our account officers each tried hard to get the pharmaceutical laboratories assigned to them as their portfolio of choice, given that these companies were relatively profitable and provided the bank with very good yields. Somewhere in between, I began to read about the other side of the fence, of homeopathic remedies and other herbal and natural cures.

Many years back, I asked the father-in-law of my brother, Dr. Conrado Dayrit (the expert pharmacologist and prime mover behind the healing qualities of virgin coconut oil), about his thoughts on herbal cures. At that time, he told me that most modern medicines had undergone extensive research and had probably managed to isolate the singular curative qualities that one would expect to find in a parallel herbal cure, with more surety on the minimization of side effects. Much later, toward the end of his career, Dr. Dayrits pioneering work with VCO probably caused him to change his mind about the efficacy of herbal cures. This is probably the reason, over the past few decades or so, a major groundswell has arisen in terms of the number of natural and herbal products available in the market, many of them sold over-thecounter in drugstore chains and in specialized herbal and natural stores. In fact, I confess a particular dependence on certain products like Psyllium huskwhich many of us first encountered when a pioneering marketer named Bert Garcia, a classmate of mine from grade school days, by the way, first mass-marketed the product under the trademark C-Liumthat help tremendously in the efficient movement of human waste. I further confess to a predilection to vitamins in various forms, hoping that these will provide me with additional help as they hopefully do for countless others who subscribe to the mantra of better health through more organic means. In a previous column, I championed the cause of the Ashitaba plant, which was first recorded in Ming dynasty charts for its curative properties, and then surfaced in Japan from where it has begun to spread all over the world. Unfortunately, my doctorsall three of them, including a cardiologist, a nephrologist and an expert of diabetesfrown when I bring up the subject and tell them of what natural medicines I have ingested of late.

580

They especially frown on herbal medicines from China, a country that has long pioneered the use of natural ingredients for the curing of various ailments. On the other hand, there have been many reports, too, of serious side effects resulting from the ingestion of some of these so-called herbal cures. So, what to do? I hope that my lab-report figures improve so that I can sneak in an Ashitaba leaf or two, especially since I have seen a dramatic decrease in my cholesterol and other indicators ever since I started taking the leaf. And I hope one day to try more of my friend Bert Garcias new products. One of them that can make a doctor smile is a mouthwash he calls Gargol, which actually does more than clean ones breath, because it also heals canker sores and other irritating things that ones mouth can probably come up with. My wife also swears by his Cran-UTI product that is supposed to help get rid of you know what. He has sold off his C-Lium brand to a big local Filipino-owned laboratory, though. Meanwhile, I have resorted to visiting the many generic stores that have begun to spring up all over the country to buy medicines that come out about 50-percent cheaper than their branded counterparts. So far, so good, if one must base results on my daily blood-pressure readings and the thrice-weekly blood-sugar tests that I conduct at home. Maybe what this country needs is a real honest to goodness testing lab that can certify natural and herbal products so that the average consumer can buy what he wants or needs without fear, and be able to face his or her doctors frowning faces. COMPARATIVE PRODUCTION COST: VCO vs. 2 MATA VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil)

In the Philippines, Conrado S. Dayrit, his sons, Fabian Dayrit and Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit, inter alia, pioneered in the production of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). Their patented product sells for P 200 (330 ml., that is 170 mls. less than liter). ** Conrado Dayrit, United Laboratories, Inc.389 2004 data: PROSOURCE sells its 250 ml. ( liter) at P 120 at Mercury Drug outlets. CARICA (SM City/other outlets; fermentation process) sells its VCO at P 250, 600 ml. BIOTECH, Los Baos, Laguna, through Dir. Teresita Espino/ Fides (Richard) Tumbala sells its 200 ml. for P 60. They said that the production cost is: 17 coconuts (P 12 x 17 = P 200) produce 1 liter (1,000 ml.). Hence, the cost of its 200 ml. = P 41; the mark-up therefore is P 19.

The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats. It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk which have been shown to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and protect against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. These fats, derived from coconut oil, are now routinely used in hospital IV formulations and commercial baby formulas. They're also used in sports drinks to boost energy and enhance athletic performance. 2 MATA 99.9% PREMIUM COCONUT HEALING OIL P 927

TERSE CRITIQUE [Of Whats New In Making Virgin Coconut Oil ***] *** [AGRI-TALK, by Zac B. Sarian, featuring ITDI, DOSTs (Engr. Q. Montevirgens) 1990 research on the virgin coconut oils wonders; PANORAMA, MANILA BULLETIN, p.24, 27, July, 2004]. A Comparative Study of the 2 Mata Coconut Oil and the Virgin Coconut Oil VIRGIN COCONUT OIL I was somewhat amazed by the pioneer research of the ITDI, DOST per Engr. Quintillano Montevirgen on the medical and other uses of one of the countrys most abundant fruit: coconut. Its therapeutic (medical) potency has just begun to shock not only the business and paranormal community, but it makes waves within the DOH itself when the much-feared SARS disease created havoc last year. Zac B. Sarians AGRI-TALK focuses on Engr. Q. Montevirgens (ITDI, DOST Team Leader in the virgin coconut oil research since 1990) study and claim that virgin coconut oil contains MCT which boosts the immune system when ingested (drank). The article discussed that, unlike ordinary cooking (coconut) oil, the virgin coconut oil made from the fresh-dry process, retains all the nutrients and vitamins, unlike in the bleached and chemically treated ordinary oil which totally lost the valuable contents during the high heat process under very high temperature. The cost of productions of the virgin coconut oil is P 220 - $ 20 per liter. Health Secretary, Hon. Manuel Dayrit also publicized his claim that coconut oil may in due time be the answer/cure for SARSs disease. The article however failed to touch on two important points: a) the scientific research finding on the components of the virgin oil that allegedly boosts the immune system and b) the testimonies on the medical potency of the product.
584

Considering the 13 years research plus the costly production thereof in the view of the process, the articles claim should have specified the ITDIs scientific findings based on testimonies on the alleged wonders of the new product which makes it totally different from cooking oil and other Chinese/foreign medical oils (like eucalyptus, camphor, menthol, etc.). 2 MATA (Judge Floros) 99.9% COCONUT HEALING OIL At this juncture, let me succinctly explain the essential difference between the extra virgin coconut oil (abovediscussed), which uses the ordinary 3 MATA coconuts, from the 2 MATA coconut HEALING/MEDICINAL OIL extracted by undersigned. NOTE that in one hectare of coconut plantation, about 7,000 mature coconuts (more or less) can be harvested and barely 2-3 of the 7,000 fruits are 2 MATA. NOTE further, that in a typical coconut store, about 1,000 mature coconuts (niyog) are delivered weekly, and according to most dealers interviewed by undersigned (Bulacan, where the niyog came from Laguna, Marinduque, Bicol region, etc.), only 2 (or even none oftentimes) 2 MATA coconuts can be retrieved from the weekly delivery. Two dealers interviewed (BULACAN and Muoz, Quezon City) testified that in one month typical delivery, only 2-3 (maximum) 2 MATA coconuts can be found, this is roughly 2-3 of about 7,000 coconuts. The Physical Difference between the 3 MATA & 2 MATA: The coconut (water) juice of the 2 MATA coconut fruits is only about 20% of the 3 MATA coconuts; when processed to extract the oil, the 2 MATA oil is yellowish and has less AROMA than the reddish and very aromatic 3 MATA oil. The PROCESSING of the 2 MATA COCONUT OIL: My 64 years old house helper (who underwent one month seminar on herbal preparations at Davao City, sponsored by the nuns, according to her) cooked separately the 2 MATA & 3 MATA fresh/mature coconuts in a procedure instructed by undersigned.
585

Thus: a) ODD and not even numbers of mature but fresh coconuts were used; 35 2 MATA coconuts and 85 3MATA coconuts were cooked in small and large cauldron, respectively; b) the cost of 2 MATA is P 80 P 100 per piece and from April to July 4, 2003, only 35 2 MATA were collected, despite best efforts, in view of the rarity thereof; the 3 MATA ordinary coconut costs only P 14 per piece (which includes the P 4 grating fee); c) the coconuts were separately grated by machine and the freshly grated meats were separately processed by hand to extract the coconut milk juice (kakang gata, by mixing the grated meats with hot mineral-purified water; only once and not twice extraction was done); d) the kakang gata were both cooked at 12:00 noon, First Friday, July 4, 2003, covering the time to 3:00 p.m; e) the most important part of the cooking is the method: only one direction of halo with perfect silence, and no onlookers (for this will affect the amount of oil to be extracted); and the sine qua non of the cooking is the exact moment when the latik turns very red, and the cauldron is taken from the fire (inin) so that the latik would turn very hard black, which results in the total extraction of the essence of the latik into the healing oil, which turns to very red color, and very aromatic; (note that the elements of the fire must include few charcoals, few coconut husks and more importantly dry wood); f) the oils are separately cooled and put into sterilized bottles (preferably a 1.5 or 4 liters Carlo Rosi wine bottle, fully dried in the sun to sanitize the same after having been boiled); and g) the finished 2 products are then offered to the Gabays or spirit guides with food offerings (this is the traditional way of the old folks in the preparation of the oil) until 12 midnight and then covered; but daily, the oils bottle is kept open for about 5 minutes (offered) before the Poons (blessed images of the Lord and the Cross). Finally, the oil is put into export quality plastic bottles (Alphatech, Panginay, Balagtas, Bulacan, 50-100 ml. bottles, P 4 P 8 each). Very important, is the use of distilled/clean glas to which the finished very hot oil product is put into. The total amount of oil produced is: a) 1.2 liters (2 MATA 35 coconuts) and b) 4.0 liters (3 MATA, 85 coconuts), respectively.
586

Hence, the total production costs are: a) P 4,000 ($ 80)/1.0 liter and b) P 1,000/4 liters, respectively. THE EXCEPTIONAL MEDICAL / THERAPEUTIC POTENCY: Since June 3, 1999 when I was endowed with the Gift of Spiritual Healing, I was especially privileged to have touched more than 10,000 patients (from the entire country). Many testified both in media (CHS. 2 & 9, MAGANDANG GABI BAYAN, KASANGGA MO ANG LANGIT:, ETC.) and in the Supreme Court (the administrative case) on the positive results of my healing and the 3 MATA healing oil I used. However, it was only on March 14, 2003 that I discovered the 2 MATA at Lingayen, Pangasinan. I was able to have cooked only one piece last Good Friday, but since then, I collected the foregoing 35 2 MATA coconuts. Arthritis, Rheumatism, Gout, Emphysema, Asthma, Flu, Pneumonia, Influenza, Migraine, dry and prolonged cough, diabetes, hypertension, kidney, liver complications, goiter, thyroid, throat complications, myoma, irregular and painful menstruation, back pains, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, spinal pains/disorders, knee and ankle/foot pains, muscle pains, cramps, in short: 15% of the curable diseases of the medical dictionary can respond very positively with the use, application and proper ingestion (drinking) of the 2 MATA medicinal and healing coconut oil. The incurable arthritis: (since ultra sound, paraffin and heat therapy, including banned steroids cannot cure but only alleviate the pains [calmante] temporarily, and the medicines have side effects, like ulcer) --- When the oil is applied, it takes about 5 minutes to ease the pain. The incurable ecsema (skin disease) had been 70% successfully treated by the oil. The sever attack of migrane had been stopped for about 5 minutes by the oil according to most patients, when ordinary medication would take about 4 hours. A last word. Judge FLORO is not a faith healer. He does not believe in simple faith as method of healing. Healing, to be complete must be based medically (scientific) and rationale.
587

The spiritual aspect of his healing with the 2 MATA oil is complementary with orthodox medicine, except in cases where medicine fails. This AREA is the sole jurisdiction of the 2 MATA 99.9% coconut healing oil. This oil may be the Fountain of Youth (of Ponce de Leon and the water/elixir of life. Not only medically proven, it has cosmetic potency. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PYnDwkkwS8 ABS-CBN, Magandang Umaga Pilipinas, April 3, 2007 Coconut Healing Oil of Judge Florentino V. Floro, Jr.: The processing of Judge Floro's coconut healing oil at Alido, Malolos City, Bulacan, Philippines 2,435 views as of June 10, 2010. How To Make Your Own Cold Processed, Cold Pressed, Absolutely No Heat Virgin Coconut Oil391 1. Select only fresh and mature quality coconuts. 2. Split coconuts and collect coconut water. 3. Grate coconuts and collect coconut meat. 4. Bag the coconut meat. Use white nylon mesh bag. 5. Place bag in a Cold Press* machine. At home, you can hand press using gloves. Collect coconut milk. 6. Soak the pressed bag in coconut water and press for a second time. Collect more coconut milk. 7. Allow the coconut milk to settle undisturbed in a cabinet at 32degC for 10-17 hours. Coconut oil will naturally separate from water and proteins.

8. Carefully collect and filter the oil and avoid mixing with the bottom water layer. The oil is colorless. Did you know that? Eating one uncooked coconut is equivalent to taking three to four tablespoons of virgin coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil is 92% saturated fat but mostly MCTs - Medium Chain Triglycerides. Not all saturated fat are bad for you, certain fats can even be good for your body like MCTs. TWO COMMENTS James Randi Newsletter From the Philippines, reader Edwardson asks: Edwardson had another point of interest to tell us about an item I ran here: www.randi.org/jr/2006-05/051906sylvia.html#i13 Lastly, for the past week or so that Filipino "psychic judge" Florentino Floro has been posting in a discussion board for Chinese Filipinos. Among his various claims is that he has healing powers (I think he should become a masseur.) He says: Mr. Jaime T. Licauco (you can click his name in google/yahoo), paranormal expert, testified that I am the sole healing judge worldwide; in Court, he testified that he investigated the authenticity of my healing, since out of 15 samples, 14 were cured of incurable illnesses. I do not use prayers or cult but simply my HANDS and coconut healing oil; my hand emits extreme heat over the afflicted area. Examples, arthritis, gout, rheumatism, migrane, etc. the pain could be alleviated by medicines in 5 hours, etc. but with my hand, only 2-4 minutes. My healing is complementary with orthodox medicine. If you desire, you can invite your friends and I am willing to demonstrate the healing here [123 Dahlia, Alido, Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines, (044) 662-82-03].
589

www.tsinoy.com/forum/showpost.php?p=457725&p ostcount=299] 14 out of 15 people with supposedly incurable conditions were healed. Super hot hands. Those must really pique your interest. I invited him to take the Million Dollar Challenge and provided him the pertinent link. But he didn't seem at all interested, even though he advertises that he's a poor man. Face it Mr. Randi, your million isn't big enough a carrot for some woowoos. He seemed more interested in CSICOP and may have contacted them already. I never mentioned to him how closely related you are to that org. By the way, Jaime Licauco is a paranormal expert alright as an expert in believing in paranormal claims and anything pseudoscientific: http://j.licauco.tripod.com/)392 In February 2006, Randi underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. Randi was diagnosed with intestinal cancer in June 2009. He had a ping pong ball-sized tumor removed from his intestines during laparoscopic surgery. He announced later at the July 2009 The Amazing Meeting as well as the fact that he was scheduled to begin chemotherapy in the following weeks. His physicians put his five-year survival rate at 50%. Randi underwent his final chemotherapy session on December 31, 2009. In March 2010, Randi came out as gay. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Randi#Personal_ life)

The Library of Congress Control Number or LCCN is a serially based system of numbering cataloging records in the Library of Congress in the United States. This numbering system has been in use since 1898. It has nothing to do with the contents of any book, and should not be confused with Library of Congress Classification. Wikipedia: ISBN The MediaWiki software automatically recognizes inline International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs); for example: the wikitext ISBN 978-0-12-345678-9 becomes ISBN 978-012-345678-9 which corresponds to Special:Booksources /9780123456789.

Licauco, but the latter returned the book to Rex Bookstore, about December, 2006, 2 months before the angioplasty surgery of Mr. Jaime T. Licauco at Chinese General Hospital on February 8, 2007. Judge Floro finally informed by Ms. Sonia Santiago of Rex Book Store that Jaime T. Licauco stated that he did not like Floros book. For this reason, Judge Floro cursed Jaime T. Licauco and posted in 3 e-forums this imprecation and the prophecy on his angioplasty. 13. Mr. Jaime T. Licauco received one copy. 14. Atty. Leonard De Vera, 15.
